Get divorced? Stay together? A mediator can help!

Rachel Alexander, in this excellent blog posting writes about how, as a mediator our goal is to help people discern what is in their best interest – what is authentically right for them at this stage of their life and this stage of their relationship, and help support them in next steps to further that. Some people might identify that they need to be divorced. Others may discover that they want to work on the relationship. We are trained to listen closely and support couples in what they believe is best for them, whether or not that aligns with what we think is best.

Being a neutral does not mean we have no independent thoughts or values. It means we strive to be clear regarding what comes from us, and distinguish that from what belongs to our clients. It means we listen to our  clients closely, even over the noisy din of our own opinion.

The mediator’s job is not to streamline couples into any particular solution, but to help people discover what is right for them. If it is to get a divorce, we're going to take them all the way through that. If it is to stay together, we will encourage that goal with all our efforts.

Some people feel they can’t call a mediator because they first must decide whether they want a divorce or not. In fact, a mediator can help you decide, and then help you explore the options.
