Divorce
is Never Easy
Regardless of the reasons behind a divorce, once
you make the decision to separate, you must face all sorts of practical issues.
- How will you handle finances?
- Will you sell the house?
- What happens to health insurance? Life
insurance?
- Retirement savings?
The list may seem endless.
If there are children, the list of issues may
feel overwhelming. Who will have
custody? Where will the children live? Will
you share custody? Where will they spend holidays and summer vacations? How will
the parents share expenses? Who pays for summer camp? Dentists? College? And how
will you continue to communicate and cooperate in making decisions about the
children after the divorce?
Traditional methods of reaching a divorce settlement can be costly, and often leave both people feeling hurt and hostile. This makes communication and cooperation more difficult, both during and after the divorce.
Divorce
Mediation can make it easier.
Whether you have
been married for a few months or for many years, divorce mediation creates an opportunity for couples to work
out the terms of their divorce in less time, with less cost, and often with less
hostility and fewer lasting negative effects.
Unlike the traditional court processes, mediation encourages
couples to take control over the outcome by making their own decisions.
Our professional mediators will not tell you what to do. Rather, they
are trained to help people with differences have productive conversations and
are available to help you to identify and make decisions about issues important to you.
