Whats the best way to select a divorce mediator?
Use the same common sense and due diligence that you would when hiring a lawyer, an accountant or other professional. Things to take into account include the mediator’s educational and professional background. Most couples want a mediator who is also an experienced attorney, so that he or she can draw upon their knowledge both of points of law and typical resolutions of issues when they are litigated. The mediator should also have significant training in divorce mediation, and be a member of professional mediation organizations. Most of all, the mediator you select should be someone you feel that you will be able to talk to openly and honestly and who will do the same with you.
