Did you know that when you hire attorneys and go to court you give up your voice in the divorce process?  The attorneys and the judge will now make most of the decisions for you.  You lose your power to be part of the process and make your wants, needs, and concerns known to the court.  How can you be part of the process and make decisions to move forward with your life?

Mediation is an option.  When you work with a mediator, you can talk about your wants, needs, and concerns during the mediation process.  The mediator helps you and your spouse to hear each other and understand your perspectives in a way that cannot happen in court.  You are empowered to make your own decisions that impact your lives as well as your children’s.  The mediator, as a neutral and impartial third party, does not make decisions for you.  She guides you through the divorce process in a way that allows you to make the important choices that will work best for you and your children.  You are part of the process and given the information you need to make informed decisions.  In this way, you chose what is best.  You can then move forward with your new life.
