Divorce is a difficult process for anyone but it is especially difficult when children are involved. Above all, as parents you want to keep your child’s wellbeing at the forefront of any decisions you make. However, you are also dealing with strong emotions like anger, disappointment, and resentment. And unfortunately these strong emotions can get in the way of making rational and good decisions for yourself, your spouse, and your kids. Read More
Mediation is particularly beneficial in child custody disputes. Often parents don’t realize how stressful divorce can be for their children. Mediation can help alleviate that stress on several fronts for your children including:
Giving your children a venue for voicing their concerns
- Help develop a workable co-parenting plan
- Reduce overall stress for you and your ex spouse
- Act as a positive example for your children in problem solving and working out conflict. Read More
Further, through mediation you can agree on methods to deal with possible disagreements in the future, avoiding possible further stress for your children.
