Mediation in Divorce: A Powerful Tool, Even in High-Conflict Cases
When people think of divorce mediation, they often picture two spouses sitting calmly with a neutral third party, working out the details of their separation over a few cooperative conversations. But what if your situation is nothing like that? What if your divorce is filled with conflict, resentment, or deep mistrust? Surprisingly, mediation can still work. In fact, mediation can be one of the most effective tools for lowering conflict, even in high-conflict divorces, and helping couples reach agreements without the emotional and financial toll of courtroom battles.
