4 Questions to Determine if Mediation is Right for You

The decision to divorce initiates a series of many challenging and difficult decisions, often starting with: What do I do now? What are the right questions to ask? Is divorce mediation right for me?

In this blog posting, Katherine Miller offers four yes/no questions as a guide for determining if the mediation process is the right fit given an individual’s desires, abilities, and family circumstances.

1. Do you think you know what is best for your family, or can you recognize it if you see it?
2. Are you willing to make your own decisions about your future.
3. Are you capable of understanding the financial information and the implications of various financial options if they’re explained to you?
4. Can you, and do you want to, speak up for yourself in the presence of your spouse with the assistance of the mediator?
