It is reported that the superstar couple, ‘Bennifer’, reached an agreement about their divorce in September 2024 using mediation, just a month after the divorce was filed in August 2024.
A second attempt at the relationship proved unsuccessful and JLo filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences exactly two years after their marriage in 2022. The marriage had followed a rekindling of their first relationship, which broke up 20 years earlier after the engagement was broken.
The couple chose mediation to finalise their divorce, which reportedly was done within just 20 weeks, with a financial settlement being reached only one month after the divorce was filed.
Family mediation is a very effective way to resolve issues relating to financial arrangements without using long and costly court battles. A bespoke and speedy agreement can be reached.
The full details of any settlement made in mediation are confidential, but it seems that both will pay their own costs and in the words of JLo’s famous song, “Love Don’t Cost A Thing”, they will keep the assets they owned and acquired before and during the marriage.
Mediation can be particularly attractive to celebrity couples such as Jennifer and Ben, and although they have no children, it is understandably desirable to those who do and who want to keep any details of family and financial issues, private, making the whole process less stressful on the whole family.
Mediation is a completely confidential process and, despite the huge media attention in the couple’s divorce, this is the first – and all – we have heard since the settlement was agreed!
Everything you discuss with a mediator is private. This allows sensitive issues to be raised and discussed without fear of them becoming public. For celebrities, whose livelihood can rely on their ‘brand’ and image – this is a huge advantage.
Mediation also allows couples to keep control over their divorce, which often means that the divorce can be quicker than taking the court route, and allows couples to look at constructive solutions rather than destructive court processes.
If you are looking for a simpler, more cost-effective divorce that can be less destructive on your family, consider mediation. Contact us now to make an appointment.
