How can mediation help me?

Life can be unpredictable. Sometimes we are gifted with pleasant surprises, and other times the unknown is filled with an endless sea of unknowns. When going through domestic legal issues, sometimes the people we thought we were the closet to we learn we know the least about them. Mediation is an opportunity to think about what you want and what you are willing to give to your counterpart.

You don’t have to have to be perfect and you don’t have to have everything planned out when you come to mediation. Family proceedings can stir up lots of emotions, some you maybe didn’t even know you were carrying. Make sure you and your family get additional support during these times of change such as therapy or help from trusted people. When times get tough, don’t forget to create moments of joy and laughter.

If your mediation ends in an impasse (the parties are unable to make an agreement), you can still walk away with a clearer vision of what you want and begin to dive deeper into how you may feel.
