Conflict resolution that builds upon
trust, respect and dignity
Divorce or Separation
The complications and emotions behind a couple's decision to separate or divorce may cloud considerations about children, finances, distribution of property, and how to maintain respectful dialogue.
At Clarity Mediations, couples can: |
|
Enter a safe atmosphere in which to communicate |
|
Be coached, if desired, on how to discuss their separation with their children |
|
Develop a mutually-defined agreement (referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding) that specifies how they will proceed in regard to parenting, child support, distribution of assets and debts, and spousal maintenance |
|
Learn how to legally process and finalize the completed agreements |
| |
Benefits of Mediation in Separation or Divorce |
|
Spouses or Partners reclaim and retain control of the circumstances in their lives; they determine a private plan to guide their lives and relationships, rather than have a public one decided by the courts. |
|
Frustration, anger and hopelessness decrease through the exercise of self determination while ownership of, and creativity in the agreement process increase. |
|
Children and their needs remain in clear focus and part of each parent's life. |
|
Financial and emotional costs to develop an agreement are much less using one mediator than when each party seeks and pays for individual representation. |
|
Time and energy are saved when peaceably directed toward mutually beneficial outcomes. |
|
The development of and changes to written agreements (known as Memorandums of Understanding) are flexible to reflect new circumstances. |
