What Does A Mediator Do?

by Amber M. Serwat

Nov 25, 2010

A mediator is a neutral professional specially trained to help you and your spouse reach agreement about all the important legal issues relating to your divorce. A mediator is not a decision maker. As your mediator, I guide you through the divorce process. I answer your questions and help you understand the court system. I facilitate a productive discussion of the issues while maintaining a safe and respectful environment. I assist you in understanding each other’s needs, wants and concerns. I help you generate and consider creative options. If you have minor children, I help you create a comprehensive Parenting Plan which will increase your likelihood of parenting success after your divorce is final. And finally, I document your agreements in a Memorandum of Agreement.

    I found your site and decided to give divorce mediation a try. It has turned out to be the best decision. I am so glad I did. Thank you for all your wonderful words and insight. It has helped me more than you can know.
