Separation and divorce are among the most painful and disruptive events that an individual or family can experience. All family members are deeply affected by separation or divorce and the problems that emerge are both emotional and financial.

• Mediation reduces the tension felt by family members and promotes healing for the couple and their children.
• Mediation allows couples to retain control over the decisions that impact upon their lives rather than place that control in the hands of adversarial others.
• Mediation gives you the tools to prevent children from being caught in the middle.
• Mediation is both for couples who do not know how to cooperate and for couples who do. Mediators show people how to work together productively in spite of their anger and teaches them techniques for resolving future differences.
• Mediation costs less and is faster - and most importantly - staying in mediation prevents a separation from being an ugly legal battle that leaves all family members financially and emotionally victimized.
  
• Mediation is strictly confidential.
