Choose peace, not war. Divorce is an emotional and turbulent time;
once the process of litigation begins, couples find that stress levels
increases significantly as a result. Why? Many couples who were
initially committed to arriving at a peaceful ending discover that once
lawyers become involved, a virtual war ensues, initiating a painful and
often costly process that takes its toll on all parties involved. Couples
committed to the idea of a mutually beneficial and fairly peaceful
outcome in which both parties have direct input are now turning to
mediation as an alternative.

Take control of the decision making process. Rather than turn over
critically important decisions to an attorney to negotiate on your behalf,
become a part of the process. In some divorces, parties rely on the
court system to define the terms of the divorce. Instead of relying on a
busy and unfamiliar Family Court judge or an attorney to take control of
your life decisions, regain control yourself. When the parties craft their
own terms of dissolution, they are usually much happier with the
outcome. Don’t leave your most important decisions to a chance
process.

Engage in bridge building, not bridge burning. Once a divorce is
finalized, a common perception is that the relationship and family unit
is extinguished. While in some cases that is true, the reality for many
other couples is that they may have more meaningful contact with an
ex-spouse than when married, particularly if there are children.
Mediation provides a healthier framework in which to move forward and
reorganize the family unit rather than destroy it. Litigation, by its very
nature, infuses an adversarial attitude, resulting in an acrimonious
ending. A good divorce is as important as a good marriage.
Mediation allows you to build new bridges into the future that will
enable a family to move forward.

Let your family become a winner. The mediation process gives you
the freedom to be creative in your divorce. Determine customized
solutions that work best for you and your partner. The court system is
often about winning and losing. In mediation, it is all about give and
take. Compromise. No one loses and as a result, everyone wins.
Choose a healthier process that creates a stable foundation upon
which to build your future – choose mediation.
