and Your Family

Separation and divorce, particularly when children and financial assets are involved, are challenging life transitions. Mediation is ideally suited to helping individuals work through financial and child-related issues in a cooperative rather than adversarial manner.

Mediation can help parents develop a healthy, lifelong working relationship that best supports the emotional and financial needs of their children.

Mediation facilitates the healing process by

• creating a safe, confidential space for working through difficult, and often emotionally charged, decisions
• promoting healthy communication skills
• encouraging mutual understanding between participants
• seeking win/win solutions that meet all parties’ needs and interests to the greatest extent possible

Mediation can help create workable agreements for

• asset distribution
• debt allocation
• parenting plans, including
  —living arrangements
  —financial support
  —child-rearing/discipline approaches
