Who should mediate?
Couples who want to create their own solutions rather than having a court mandate a solution for them should consider mediation. Most couples can benefit from mediation when going through the difficult process of separation and divorce. Even where there is high conflict in the relationship, mediation is often the best way to resolve disputes in a fair and equitable manner. Litigation often increases stress and animosity between parties. Mediation creates an atmosphere where the stress and anger are decreased. However there are some circumstances, such as where there has been physical abuse, when mediation may not be appropriate. A preliminary conversation with one of our mediators can help you determine if mediation is right for you.
