Mediation
is self-responsible and satisfying - Based upon
having actively resolved your own conflict, participant satisfaction,
likelihood of compliance and self-esteem are found by research
to be dramatically elevated through mediation. Published studies
at reputable universities show that for people who are divorced,
when contacted twelve years afterwards, 85% of those who had
used mediation remain satisfied with the results, while only
15% of those who used traditional court procedures remained
satisfied. That is why Utah made it a law in May 2005 that
all couples seeking divorce must go through mediation.
