| Under
the best of circumstances, divorce is a traumatic process. Your
hopes and dreams have been shattered; you face an uncertain future;
you are challenged by many unanswered questions. Fear, confusion,
anger, disappointment and sadness are just a few of the emotions
you probably are experiencing. So what can you do to get through
these difficult times?
Three alternatives
•
you
and your spouse can work things out on your own;
• both
of you can hire attorneys and fight each other in court; or
• you
can retain control over your dignity and your divorce,
and greatly reduce both
anger and fear, by working with a family mediator.
Obviously,
you have not been able to work things out on your own or else you
would not be looking at this web site! Therefore, you have only
two remaining options. Going to court (litigating your divorce)
is very expensive, time-consuming and frustrating; lawyers and
judges make most of the decisions as the anger and resentment between
you and your spouse continue to fester.
Mediation:
the smart alternative
Mediation provides you with a private, constructive, self-directed and
cost effective option. To learn more about how you can take control of
your divorce (or resolve other major family challenges) in a calm, dignified
and effective manner, please visit our website at www.thefamilymediator.com.
