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.
