  • 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.

  • The Advantages Of Co-Mediation

    Author: Brian James | Jul 02, 2021 | Categories: divorce mediator , marital mediation , mediation training

    C.E.L.-&-Associates---Month-19---#-3---Blog-Banner

    Co-mediation is a form of mediation where more than one mediator is present during a meeting. It is thought to be more beneficial to clients as the mediators complement each other in terms of personality, culture, gender, professional background to improve the quality of the mediation process and its outcome. A co-mediation can be used to settle divorce and post-decree cases (i.e., situations that occur after divorce). The purpose of this form of cooperation is to facilitate agreements on all issues regarding children and finances, with as little conflict as possible.
