About Polly Tatum
Legal Philosophy
My name is Polly Tatum and I created Mediation Advantage because I passionately believe in the benefits of mediation can provide you during this trying time.
I spent most of my life before mediation in human and civil service, and I have seen from the inside how poorly equipped the system is to handle matters as sensitive and emotionally charged as divorce, custody, child support and parenting schedules.
In short, the system often leaves families torn apart, parents angry, and children neglected. This is not a healthy approach to uncoupling, because although you may have fallen out of love, the process of separation should still be done with kindness and fairness.
Legal Background
I myself negotiated my own divorce settlement as a mother of 3 children a long time ago and it was one of the best decisions I made for myself, my children, and the family unit. My ex and I are still friends to this day, and although that might not be the future situation for you and your partner, it speaks to the power of mediation. We were able to part ways with civility, protecting our most important assets of all, our children.
My mission is to change how divorce is done, allowing you to move forward in your life with peace of mind, knowing that your assets and your relationship with your children are secure.
I hope that you consider Mediation Advantage as you move into the next chapter of your life.
