Dear Reader -
I like to post articles or essays related to the field of divorce mediation, trends, changes in the law, etc., for those either currently involved in a divorce or for those contemplating it.
"The View" section of the August 3, 2015, issue of Time magazine, features an article entitled "The Rise of the Good Divorce" by Susannah Schrobsdorff.
In her article, Ms. Schrobsdorff discusses the growing trend of people seeking the "optimal divorce," the "Good Divorce." Referred to as "conscious uncoupling" or "collaborative divorce," more use is being made of mediators and coaches today than ever before to assist couples as they navigate through the choppy waters of separation and divorce.
Approaching divorce in an amicable, civil fashion, no matter what name you use for it, benefits all involved -- parents, and especially children. Parents who are committed to a Good Divorce have demonstrated their concern for their children and have decided to work hard through sometimes extremely stressful circumstances (it's tough to be nice sometimes) for the kids' sake.
Hopefully, this trend will continue and more people will elect an alternative to litigating their divorce in court, a process that takes its toll on the parties, their children and their resources.
If you have any questions about divorce mediation, please contact me. I will be happy to answer your questions.
