How divorce mediation safeguards children

All studies on divorce and its impact on children come to the same conclusion: divorce in itself does not cause permanent damage, but how you go about doing it can. Mediating your divorce helps you protect your child’s welfare financially and emotionally.

Financially you will not only plan ahead for future expenses like a college education, you will also save hundreds if not thousands of dollars in legal fees to put towards that effort.

Emotionally, mediation trumps litigation hands down. Parents who work together to resolve differences protect their children from the trauma of “picking sides” in a legal tug-of-war. In mediation parents can express painful emotions while sheltering children from them. The mediation process helps couples begin to develop a new relationship so they can successfully co-parent after the divorce.
