It can be a lot better for them to see their parents working together in their best interests. This helps to reassure them that they are still loved in the same manner as before.
A more efficient process
A litigated divorce can take several months, even over a year to finalize. Mediation is likely to be much quicker. You’ll have some flexibility and say over when meetings are held, rather than having to wait to hear about court dates.
Confidentiality

Discussions are only shared with relevant parties, and if you and your spouse are able to agree on not sharing sensitive information, then it should be able to stay between the two of you.
