When you go through a divorce, it is normal to experience a flood of emotions. You may feel a range of emotions including sadness, anger, frustration, denial, and even grief. You should know that this is a perfectly normal part of the divorce process. In fact, for many, you go through a grieving process somewhat similar to the loss of a loved one. Finding a way to manage these emotions during divorce can be a critical step in healing
Married couples who have decided to divorce no longer have only the options of divorcing through the court system or having to hire expensive attorneys who often have their own bottom line in mind when they fight for their clients. Divorce mediation, which also includes custody mediation for couples with children, is a much more frequently chosen option than ever before. Many couples choose mediation over litigation because it is less expensive, takes less time and actually reduces overall conflict rather than increasing it.
The majority of parents whose marriages end in divorce are people who love their children more than anything. The nature of marital conflict, however, can result in parents expressing their love for their children in ways that provoke disagreement. It is entirely possible for both parents to believe that they love their children perfectly, while also believing that their divorcing spouse’s love for their children is all wrong

However, there are parts of our society that have emerged as bargains, and divorce mediation is one of those things. Compared to the cost of pursuing a divorce through the court system, divorce mediation is far less expensive and less stressful. In addition to these important benefits, the courts also encourage couples
