Divorce Is Painful Enough

Few events in life are as jarring and as traumatizing as divorce.  The emotional toll can be steep, as each spouse grapples with an ever-varying combination of difficult, painful feelings (grief, anger, fear--to name just a few).  Yet as steep as the emotional toll can be, the pragmatic toll of divorce--the substantial change it causes in lifestyle, routine, and secondary relationships--can be even steeper.  One household becomes two, assets and obligations are divided, friends' loyalties are tested--and in marriages with children, a host of previously unaddressed parenting issues are suddenly the focus of much discussion and concern.

In the past, the emotional and pragmatic difficulties of divorce were often exacerbated by the process itself--a process in which spouses became legal adversaries, battling each other through lawyers, forensic accountants, and court hearings, all at substantial, often wasteful cost in terms of time, emotion, and dollars.

Today, for some couples, the process can be different.

The Process Doesn't Have To Worsen The Pain

MakePeace Divorce Mediation is an alternative--a peaceful, affordable alternative--to the exhausting legal battles that typified divorce in the past.

In the past, the first step for spouses was usually to hire separate lawyers.  This typically resulted in separate retainers, separate cost deposits, separate sets of experts, and the resultant legal wrangling that would eat up precious time and dollars--time and dollars that could have been spent more productively on the process of building new lives.

With MakePeace Divorce Mediation, the process is different.

With MakePeace, the first step is for spouses to sit down, together, with an impartial mediator who is trained to help the parties address and resolve the various issues that must be settled in any divorce.  It's not marriage counseling--the parties and the mediator all know and accept that the marriage is over.  Instead, it's a means by which the parties--with the help of the MakePeace mediator--can settle their divorce, save time and dollars, and peacefully move on with their lives.
