Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 10/21/2016 --"This was a natural step for me. I've helped many people who chose to undergo mediated divorces, but I guided them through the financial aspects of legally ending their marriages. Now, I am better able to mediate and co-mediate the entire process," he said.
A mediated divorce is usually a cheaper alternative to a court-ordered divorce. Mr. Weinberger said mediation works best when the couple amicably agrees to separate. Mediation also allows the couple to decide how the divorce is spelled out as opposed to having a judge issue an order.
"Mediation lets you come to a settlement in an efficient, affordable and respectful way," he said. "It's often a sad day when a marriage has to end, but it does not have to be acrimonious."
Mediation allows both sides to come to the table with ideas. Through discussion, the couple decides what is fair and accepts that. In a court-ordered divorce, the judge listens to what both sides want, but still makes a decision based on often-unyielding legal principles.
"The best thing about mediation is that the couple controls the process, not a judge," Mr. Weinberger said. "As a professional mediator, it's my job to guide and suggest, not dictate. I look for ways to compromise and find mutually agreeable solutions. I don't tell them what they have to do. I find common ground."
Mr. Weinberger said his years of experience as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® helped prepare him for this new role.
"It is a common misconception that divorces are inevitably expensive, adversarial, and financially complex. Thorough, focused analysis simplifies some of the most stressful elements and allows for a faster and more efficient process for the parties involved," he said.
