There, legislation is proposed to help families in divorce avoid costly legal bills and to reduce the judicial caseload. With the prevalence of divorce and its high emotions, mediation is a means to address productively some of the stumbling blocks to resolution that often create incentives or circumstances that lead to long and expensive legal disputes.
