What if I Want a Separation and My Spouse Doesn’t?
My experience tells me that if one person wants out of the marriage, inevitably the separation will occur. It’s only a matter of time and the method they choose to effectuate process. When one spouse is reluctant to end the marriage, it puts the “initiating” spouse in a difficult position. On one hand, the initiating spouse knows how hard this will be on their spouse but on the other hand they may still feel that separating is the best alternative to a marriage that no longer works for them.

What is Divorce Mediation?
In general, mediation is voluntary process in which an unbiased, impartial third party helps people negotiate with each other to create and develop their own agreements. Divorce mediation focuses on the couple, their children and the well being of the entire family as it transitions into a new family structure. In this self -determining process, the mediator, as a neutral party, helps to put the decision making in the hands of the couple by guiding and facilitating the voluntary agreements they make with each other.
