Co-mediation

Return to: Parenting, Money, Time, CollaborativeDivorce Mediation

We offer couples the choice of one mediator or co-mediation with a male  mediator and female  mediator working together. Many couples prefer the balance of a male and female mediator and the added insights these trained mediators with legal and mental health backgrounds bring to the process. The greater understanding of  psychological dynamics that a therapist-mediator brings to divorce mediation is very useful in overcoming blockages in the process. When custody issues exist, the input of the psychologist-mediator helps regarding children's reactions to divorce and the potential impact of various custody arrangements on children. The balance of a male and female mediator often makes each member of the couple feel more comfortable.
