Your marriage is ending, but your partnership is not . . . .
Deciding to divorce when you have children brings up many feelings and questions. You may be experiencing grief, sadness, confusion, and worry–especially about how to tell the children and how to support them during and after the divorce process. How can you prepare the children for a new life when you don’t know what to expect? You’ve heard the worst thing to do is to put children in the middle, but what does that mean, exactly?
It is possible to end a marriage with respect, peace, and in a way that protects the health and well-being of the children. And it is possible for children to thrive in two homes.
Divorce Mediation for Parents is a process that allows you to create the terms of your divorce and separation agreement amicably. I specialize in helping parents craft a parenting plan as required to divorce in Massachusetts. As a neutral party, I can coach parents from any state on how to effectively co-parent and address the pain points around coming together to raise a child while separating as adults. I am focused on helping you decide what is best for your family as you work through issues such as parenting time, children’s education and activities, future planning, and more.
The divorce process can be prolonged, painful, and expensive. The most complicated and emotional section of the divorce agreement for parents is the parenting plan. Working with a trained divorce mediator and child development expert like me can streamline this process, clear the chaos, and help you connect with your children.
Since divorce mediators assist couples in reaching an amicable divorce agreement in less time and at lower cost than other methods, such as litigation, divorce mediation is a good choice for many divorcing couples. And for divorcing couples with children, hiring a mediator with expertise in healing relationships and child development means you will also reach an amicable divorce agreement with less anxiety over the impact on your children.
Even though you are ending your marriage, as parents you will always be partners. It makes sense to partner through the divorce as you redefine your relationship to each other. Divorce Mediation for Parents will help you keep your love for you children front and center while you work out all of the other issues required by the court system in Massachusetts.
