- Be honest.
- Work together even though it will be difficult.
- Avoid court hearings.
- Build communication skills.
Divorce Mediation with a skilled mediator facilitates an environment of communication and cooperation between spouses. Making your own decisions about the outcome of your divorce is very empowering for most couples, regardless of their family size or individual complexities.
