  • Qualities to Look for in a Divorce Mediator

    Going through a divorce or separation can be an overwhelming and emotionally challenging time for any couple. Untangling lives, assets, and emotions can often feel like an uphill battle. That's where a skilled and experienced divorce mediator can make a world of difference.
    A divorce mediator is a neutral third party who assists couples going through a divorce in reaching mutually agreeable solutions to their disputes and issues. A divorce mediator's role differs from that of a lawyer or judge. Instead of advocating for one party's interests, a mediator acts as a facilitator, guiding the couple through the divorce process and helping them make decisions together. The mediator primarily promotes collaboration, reduces conflict, and fosters a cooperative environment.

    Divorce mediation can be a more amicable and cost-effective alternative to traditional divorce proceedings. The mediator assists the couple in identifying and discussing various aspects of their divorce, such as parenting plan, visitation schedules, property division, maintenance, and other relevant issues. In this blog, we will discuss the qualities you should look for in a divorce mediator to ensure you have the best possible maintenance during this difficult time.

  • Five Tips For Successful Mediation Of Your Divorce

    Author: Brian James | Aug 23, 2022 | Categories: cheap divorce , co mediation , Cost Effective , divorce lawyer , divorce mediation , divorce mediator , family mediation services

    C.E.L.-&-Associates---Month-16---#-2---Blog-Banner

    Sometimes, no matter how hard you try otherwise, it looks like your upcoming divorce may not be as civil as the two of you thought it was going to be. People, whether it be lawyers, friends, family and/or co-workers, have told you to not trust your spouse, to close joint bank accounts before they do first and try to talk you into doing this that you and your spouse agreed you did not want to do. This situation is the perfect one for divorce mediation vs. litigating in court, as the goal of mediation is to reach an agreement that works without spending your money on unnecessary attorney fees, spending significant time in court and getting away from the civil divorce you both agreed to in the first place before everyone started giving you their opinion and advise.
