Mediation is (often) faster than litigating a case in court.
Mediations usually occur over one or just a few sessions.
When families are able to resolve all (or at least some) of their disputed issues outside of court, this takes much less time than disputes that involve scheduling multiple hearings, a trial, etc. Mediated cases can come to a resolution in a few of weeks or months, while heavily litigated cases may take multiple years to come to an end.
Mediation is more cost-effective.
Research suggests that the average divorce in the U.S. costs around $15,000 (and that does not even include the heavily contested cases).

Collaborative Law is a unique way to resolve legal issues in which both parties retain their own lawyer but those attorneys' only task is to assist the parties with settling their disputes.
The process requires each party to maintain open communication with their lawyer.
Everyone involved in the process agrees to work together in a collaborative way, to be respectful, to be honest, and to attempt to reach an agreement.
If the parties cannot settle their case collaboratively, both lawyers must withdraw from further participation.
