We cannot change the fact that couples divorce but
Mediation and Collaborative Divorce can change the way
people divorce.
Both Mediation and Collaborative Divorce help the
parties move forward to a compassionate and respectful
ending to their marriage. Most importantly, these two
alternative methods to divorce keep the emphasis on the
children as a priority. The parties are assisted throughout the
Mediation and Collaborative process in developing
communication skills related to the children. It is very
important that the parties develop a means by which they
can communicate so both parties remain in their
children’s lives forever and later their grandchildren’s
lives. In both Mediation and Collaborative Divorce the
parties come to an agreement out of Court, thus saving on the
amount of attorney fees they would have to pay in a litigated
divorce. Cases are normally settled in far less time than would
occur in a litigated case allowing the parties and their
children to begin the process of moving forward with their
lives.
