Mediated and Adversarial Divorce: Respondents' Perceptions of Their Processes and Outcomes

Kelly, Joan B.. Mediation Quarterly, Jan. 1, 1989

The Divorce and Mediation Project was designed to compare the effectiveness of a divorce mediation process to a traditional two-attorney adversarial process. This article outlines the methodology and results from that project that pertain to respondent satisfaction with the dispute resolution process and the outcome at the time of the final divorce. The study determined that participants found mediation to be more satisfactory than adversarial divorce proceedings in several areas, including emotional satisfaction, understanding of children's needs and issues, etc.
