What are the
results of divorce mediation? People often feel
empowered and grateful for the experience. They know they have done what is best for themselves, their children, and their finances. However, it can often be a difficult decision to work with a mediator in the face of friends and family telling you to do otherwise. Take the case of a woman recently featured in a
Massuchusetts article on divorce mediation. Told by family and friends to hire the baracuda lawyer and take her husband to the cleaners, she was determined to find a better way. She realized that it would not be beneficial to their child if she alienated her husband. She also came to the conclusion that hiring an attorney to do battle for her would cost a fortune. Strengthened with the resolve to work with her husband in mediation, she forged a new relationship with her child’s father that allowed them to be
cooperative co-parents as they raised their child into adulthood.
Another example of the beneficial results of divorce mediation is seen in Florida. New trends there are indicative of divorcing couples’ determination to find a better way. They are realizing the devastating and long-lasting negative effects on children if the parents fight through their divorce. Everyone suffers when matters are turned over to attorneys who stir up the waters and drain everyone’s emotions and finances. In this article, one family’s story reflects the successes they experienced after going through a divorce mediation. The couple were able to work out a mutually agreeable arrangement for both of them to spend time with their son and look to the future as his needs changed. In the end, they modeled cooperation for their son and moved forward with their lives. The article also gives valuable tips on how to get through a divorce while keeping your best interests and those of your children in mind. Helpful information for all those going through a divorce.
