Why is it helpful for divorcing parties to negotiate their own alimony settlement?

When parties negotiate alimony in an out-of-court setting, they take control of the process and its outcome rather than give all of the control to the judge. Negotiating also leaves more room for creative solutions. Litigating in court over any matter can be time-consuming and costly. In contrast, negotiating alimony out of court can save you both on time and money and can be much less stressful.
