WHO WE HELP
Familes
Especially families with children. We want families to be able to stay together and if they a separating or getting a divorce we want them to make their children’s lives better for it, not worse. That is our focus.
COUPLES JUST STARTING
In rare cases, new couples may reach out to us. We think this should happen more often. The single largest source of problems in a relationship of any age is communication. Especially communication about agreements. Implicit vs explicit agreements is the difference between anxious vs enjoyable relationships.
Saving some lawyer fees
Our second goal is to save you alot of money by letting you get all your separation agreements done and out of the way. That is where the big cost of divorce is, disagreement.
FAMILIES DIVORCING OR SEPARATING
Sometimes you can’t stay together and it is just better to separate. When that happens, it is often at a time of already heightened stress and lawyers may be getting involved. But our first goal is to make the separation stabilizing for the children if there are any. This may seem like a contradiction but if separation is needed, it may be because it is the best choice for everyone, and stability can come from clear and amicable agreements.
NOTHING IS TOO UNUSUAL
If you have a relationship with many people, and you are all upset at each other, if you have a close friend you are fighting with, if you have a business partner you suddenly can’t trust, if you don’t get along with your grandpa, if a brother or sister hurt you, etc, those are all situations where mediation can help! The same rules of relationships apply to all of them and we do have experience with each of these.
