The New Year can be a time of great joy, but it is also a time for reflection. For some, the turning of the calendar brings a realization that a couple’s marriage is broken beyond repair. Fearing the acrimony, expense and emotional toll of the divorce process, some people choose to stay in an unhappy relationship. What they may not know is that there is a saner, more sensible way to end a marriage—divorce mediation.
Unlike traditional divorce, a mediated divorce protects the emotional well-being of each partner. Working with a neutral third party, mediation allows for the resolution of disagreements in an open, cooperative atmosphere resulting in separation and divorce agreements that meet the needs of both parties.
Importantly, mediation preserves relationships between children and their parents. It is also dramatically less expensive and time consuming, allowing the former spouses to move on in their lives with their financial and emotional lives intact.
