Written by Rich Gordon, J.D., Principal Mediator, A Fair Way Mediation Center
Have you been procrastinating? Have you thought about your New Year’s Resolutions?
Maybe you should consider Divorce Mediation.
For some couples, spending tense times during the holidays may have brought them to the brink. They may have considered divorce but postponed it because of the holidays and family time. But when the “Norman Rockwell” image of joyous family gatherings falls short of enjoyable, some couples reconsider divorce. It’s not too late to add mediation to your 2024 Resolutions.
If mediation is a new term for you, learning about it together is an excellent place to start. If children are involved, mediation is beneficial. It will help you concentrate on what is best for the family, work through unresolved issues, and avoid hefty legal fees and complex court procedures.
If you agree to mediation, a professional mediator will guide you through every step and help lead you to a fair and supportive resolution. Under the mediator’s gentle guidance the couple makes critical decisions. Mediation offers:
- A safe, relaxed, non-judgmental environment
- Exploration of all options
- No court appearances or hefty legal fees
- Resolution of all issues to provide a quick and workable settlement.
