Mediation is an efficient, reasonable and fair way for separating or divorcing people to reach agreements with the help of an impartial professional Mediator. A Divorce Mediator will give legal, financial and parenting information in order to plan for the family's future. In Massachusetts a couple seeking divorce need to present a Separation Agreement to the court. Mediation avoids the adversarial system of divorce, during which time the most personal matters of people's lives are handed over the court for judgement.
Divorce is a complicated time for the people involved.
Divorcing couples will face much hurt, anger and confusion. While Divorce Mediation is not therapy, a mediator can help create an atmosphere of cooperation. This allows couples to adjust to their changing relationship and begin the healing process. Mediation is fair. Mediation reduces bitterness.
