Profile of a Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is an enlightened way to resolve financial and parenting issues when couples make the difficult wrenching decision to separate and divorce. The cooperative mediation approach seeks to minimize an adversarial process; a skilled mediator helps people center on the children’s best interests and to decide on allocation of marital assets and liabilities, family finances, and other issues that will become the basis for a formal separation agreement or a divorce document.
