Deciding to seek a divorce from your spouse is among the most difficult decisions an individual will make. It is also true that the decision to finalize a divorce can usher in the most stressful time in your life. What may be less well known is that how you choose to end your marriage can significantly reduce the stress and difficulty of that decision.
Making decisions about child custody can be difficult. A court will look at many factors when deciding how a child spends his/her time. These factors include the child’s preference (if old enough to communicate it), the quality of the relationship between each parent, the mental and physical health of each parent and work obligations for the parents.
Your family is the most important thing to you. When divorce or another issue shakes the core of your family, you may be looking for a way to navigate the waters in a way that minimizes the overall stress on each of you. Family mediation can help you solve complex issues related to your family so that you can move forward with your life in a healthy way. Family mediation can be used to settle the terms of a divorce, deal with child custody issues that come up after a divorce is final or to deal with the difficult issues related to an aging family member.
