Divorce hurts, but falling out of love doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still proceed in separating with kindness and understanding. Our divorce and family mediation services will empower you to proceed with divorce or separation with dignity and without a judge deciding your future. Traditional litigation removes focus from the needs of the family and pits two people material wants and needs against each other in a hostile environment.
At Mediation Advantage, we serve to support the needs of the family as a unit, so that asset allocation and preservation is fair for both spouses, and beneficial for the future of any children. Mediation proves to be more advantageous for the family unit than traditional divorce proceedings, because it’s not a combative or hostile experience. Instead of a battle of warriors, we are a mediation team with one goal in mind, to create peace of mind for both spouses.

Call Mediation Advantage to start with a complimentary mediation success planning session. Most planning sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many questions you have. Divorce mediation is most efficient when you come to your mediation sessions prepared with some basic information. The better informed you are about your assets and liabilities, children’s schedules, and your goals for the outcome of your situation, the more progress we can make in your mediation session.

My name is Polly Tatum and I created Mediation Advantage because I passionately believe in the benefits that 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 court system is to handle in matters as sensitive and emotionally charged as divorce, custody, child support, and parenting schedules. In short, the court 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.
I myself negotiated my own divorce settlement as a mother of three children a long time ago, and it really 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, thereby 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 will consider Mediation Advantage as you move into the next chapter of your life.

Over the past decade, we have seen how mediation can help parents where a traditional lawsuit might fail. Guided by a neutral third party, parents can express their fears, and hopes, about the children, and work out a compromise agreement. Agreeing on child custody and parenting arrangements is often the most difficult part of a divorce or separation. It’s emotional, which is exactly why custody should be decided by the parents with the guidance of a neutral third party, instead of the ironclad decision of a judge. You know better than a judge what is better for your children.
In many circumstances, the adversarial nature of traditional divorce lawsuits can make the situation even worse, as parents are encouraged to make negative statements about one another, rather than concentrate on making a plan that best suits the children, as well as the parents. It’s a lose-lose situation and it’s not a healthy way to decide the future of your children. Compromise can be difficult, but with a trained mediator to guide both parents through the steps to compromise, a custody arrangement can be met so that no one, including the children, loses the battle. At Mediation Advantage we never lose sight of what is best for the family unit as a whole.
