The divorce process is difficult and time-consuming, especially if there are shared finances, children involved, and other disputes that come up throughout the separation. Our center’s divorce mediation service can help.
Divorce mediation supports couples through the details of the divorce process, from figuring out shared custody to dividing property or discussing other issues. With divorce mediation, you might not need an attorney which could save you time and money.
Once we’ve determined your case qualifies for our services, we connect you with a Domestic mediator who specializes in disputes related to divorce. We walk you through the process from start to finish, ensuring you have a clear idea of the mediation process the entire time.
With a trained mediator, parties often find that they can resolve most if not all of their issues without resorting to court. They also have the space to talk, respectfully and productively, through a guided discussion process that engages their key disputes.
The process frequently produces legally-binding agreements that support ongoing communication, de-escalation, and clear expectations.
I sat down with our Mediation Manager Ethan Campbell to discuss how divorce mediation works at our center. Ethan talked through the finer details of mediation while maintaining that divorce mediation is often more efficient and less expensive than the traditional divorce process through the court.
Ethan gave an example of a fictional divorced couple that will commonly request our divorce mediation services. Keep in mind that the parties and their situation is fictional but the case refers to real life circumstances that often bring couples to our center.
An Example of Divorce Mediation
“A married couple, Jacob and Emily Dawson, contacted our center after deciding to move forward with a divorce. With two school-aged children, they felt overwhelmed by the emotional and financial challenges of separating households. Both hoped to avoid a lengthy court process but struggled to communicate effectively about parenting time, division of assets, and future decision-making for their children.
We connected them with a trained, neutral mediator who created a structured and supportive space for conversation. Through an initial intake, each party privately shared their concerns and priorities. Joint sessions then focused on problem-solving rather than blame, helping the couple explore options and work toward mutually acceptable solutions.
Mediation discussions included developing a detailed parenting schedule, establishing co-parenting communication guidelines, dividing marital assets and financial responsibilities, and planning for future decisions regarding their children.
By the end of the process, the couple reached a comprehensive agreement addressing the major aspects of their divorce. The agreement was submitted to the court, significantly reducing the time and expense often associated with contested cases.
The benefits extended to the entire family. The parents retained control over important decisions, avoided prolonged conflict, and built a healthier foundation for communication. Which resulted in their children experiencing a more cooperative and stable transition.”
The mediation process can often result in powerful dialogues that build stronger relationships and work through a broader number of issues than can be covered in court. A neutral, third party mediator can give voice to the primary issues affecting not only the marriage but also issues beyond the divorce. The lasting effects of mediation impact families for years to come.
