To The Divorcing Parent

As you start down this road, you have good reason to be worried about your children. Divorce will almost certainly be painful for them. This is the bad news, and, as far as we can tell, there is no way around it.

But there's good news, too. While it frightens and upsets him, divorce does not need to damage your child psychologically or emotionally. This is what we see in our divorce mediation practice, and this is what the long-range research tells us.

Divorce Mediation is an alternative that can help you shield your child from the most damaging aspects of divorce. The non-adversarial nature of mediation gives you the chance to create a world for your child that is just as emotionally safe and secure, with the same opportunities for a healthy adulthood, as that of a child whose family that has never experienced divorce.

Our own mediations are structured with this end in mind.

We encourage you to find out about mediation, and to consider it seriously for your divorce. Our website provides information about divorce research, the benefits of mediation, finding a mediator in your area, the real costs of a conflictual divorce, and about us.

We invite you to call us for an appointment to discuss how we can help you during your divorce.
