by Robin Duboe Seigle, Director, NCRC Divorce Mediation Services
Because NCRC’s program is called “Divorce Mediation Services”, many people assume that to use it, they need to have already decided to get divorced. With the current tough economic times, couples who might be thinking about or wanting to get divorced are not sure that they can afford to live in two separate households. Others have issues about their shared finances and want to separate them, but wonder if they have to get divorced to do that.
NCRC’S DIVORCE/FAMILY LAW MEDIATION SERVICES CAN BE USED TO HELP YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO STAY TOGETHER, SEPARATE, FILE FOR DIVORCE or LEGAL SEPARATION and/or TO EXPLORE SPLITTING FINANCES WITHOUT SEPARATING OR DIVORCING.
The role of NCRC’s Divorce/Family Law Mediators is to assist the couple to discuss ANY issues or concerns they have (whether married or not) about staying together, separating, initiating the legal family law process, staying in the same house, separating their finances, etc. The role of the mediator is to provide legal and practical information, as well as to facilitate the discussion so that it can be very productive and without “fighting”.
Mediation is a good way to work together to determine in which direction you want to proceed. Sometimes, after couples meet with a mediator, they decide to try counseling, a trial separation, or other alternatives.
Please call 619-238-2400 extension 220 or 223 for further information. Trissan Maleskey or I can help you explore whether our services will be appropriate for your situation.
