Dealing With Separation and Divorce

The Process

Using a Mediator

If you and your spouse/partner cannot come to an agreement on your own,a mediator may be able to help you communicate better with each other and reach an agreement. Mediators are neutral third parties who can help you reach an agreement on a variety of issues, including support payments, the division of property, or custody of and access to, your children. You should show any agreement you reach during mediation to a lawyer before you sign it. Mediation is not appropriate for everyone, particularly in cases where there has been violence or abuse.
