Protecting Children During Divorce

It’s so easy to get caught up in the personal animosity and lose sight of how our decisions affect those around us. We must protect the relationship that isn’t ending. The relationship between the children and you, their parent. They did not sign up for a separation, and they don’t want to take sides or feel like they’re losing a parent due to a separation.

Parent Scheduling Plan

Our parenting scheduling at Mediation Advantage is designed with the children in mind. So time spent with children can actually be time spent parenting. An agreed upon schedule from holidays to school pickups eases animosity and provides structure and routine during a time that’s anything but routine for your children. With an agreed upon schedule, both parents can feel at peace knowing when they are going to spend time with their children and in what capacity, allowing them to plan accordingly.

Divorce Process With Mediation Advantage

Divorce hurts even if you are the one who wants it. However, that doesn’t mean the process should be anymore painful than it needs to be. At Mediation Advantage, we provide the guidance and legal expertise necessary so that separation can be done cooperatively. We believe a fair compromise that allows each person to walk away from the relationship with peace of mind is possible. We also believe that the best person to determine the future of your family is you, not a judge, not lawyers, not the system, but you and your family.

Divorce Approach

Mediation provides a space for those uncoupling to determine what’s the best situation for their family. Our approach has many advantages to traditional divorce proceedings. There is one mediation team with one goal in mind, to help both participants reach a fair settlement. At Mediation Advantage, we’ll guide you to an equitable settlement through a fair process that allows you to be in control. This allows the family to move on with dignity, clarity, and peace of mind.

Legal Philosophy

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.

Litigation Experience

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.
