People have different personalities and circumstances.
Personal relationships can become frayed, crumpled or even dangerous. Unfortunately, divorce and separation are commonplace these days. The turmoil of a family unraveling should not have to become life-threatening or crush your plans to move on to a happier existence. Rather than wage a costly court battle it makes more sense to work out an amicable resolution in a neutral place. Mediation by a professional counselor is often the answer.
