Question #41: WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU SHOULD ASK WHEN SELECTING A MEDIATOR?

The first thing you should ask about is the mediator’s credentials, including his/her professional training and degrees, years practicing divorce mediation, number of cases he/she has worked on, etc. You should also insist on an attorney-mediator who can both mediate and prepare and file all of the legal documents necessary including the Separation Agreement and […]

Question #40: Are therapists better equipped than lawyers to do family mediation with the exclusion of the financials? Where does the boundary lie between therapy and mediation? Thank you kindly.

There is a major distinction between “divorce mediation” and “family therapy”. Family therapy deals with the past and present relationship between the parties, in an effort to resolve past relationship problems and to re-unite the parties so that they may continue the family structure and relationship as husband and wife. Divorce mediation, on the other […]

Question #37: I have read a little on mediation and am quite convinced that this is the way to go rather than utilizing lawyers to battle it out in court. However I am having trouble convincing my wife. She thinks we don’t even need lawyers and can do a divorce on our own. We do negotiate fairly well, but we have issues around child custody especially for the future and are wrangling over property. If you can provide some detailed information about how you work and what it will cost, perhaps I can be more convincing in our need for mediation. Thanks.

Question #35: I had been a battered woman before the syndrome was defined. I would like to know if I can genuinely sue this ex-husband for all the damage he has done to me, my grown children, and grandchildren who are feeling the Wrath. We would like to recoup all the support the “Legal System” did not afford to my family (As Victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse)? My life as well as my grown girls, with their children are still being victimized by this man. Is there any escape from the turmoil that this man , (my children’s’ father);my children are now raising their own children with feelings of all the anguish and pain (Very vivid in there minds), and yet still this man does not seem to care/consider what we (females (2) daughters and myself) have undergone due to his battering, domination, parasitic abnormalities he has bestowed upon our being which we still endure today. I am 51….the 1st born is 28…..the 2nd born is 27 and we lost the first son (not biologically his child, but we raised till I decided to leave due to my ex-husbands physical abuse). My son committed suicide by the time he was 26 years old. Speaking of his torment. When I went to Family Court for support, I was accused of revenge, I am not looking for revenge…I am looking for answers to questions so I can give my grown children something to give to their children (my grandchildren) who are seeking answers to….Can We Talk? Awaiting your response .

From your letter it appears that both you and your children have suffered much as a result of your ex-husband’s psychological and physical abuse which you need not and should not tolerate. Unfortunately, we at Divorce Solutions deal with exclusively divorce matters and are not qualified or equipped to deal with abuse cases. I strongly […]

Question #32: THERE ARE MANY MEDIATORS IN MY AREA. A DIVORCE IS AGREED UPON AND BOTH PARTNERS ARE NON-COMBATANT. THERE IS A SMALL HOUSE THAT IS JOINTLY OWNED AND A SUM OF 10,000 IS OWED TO A SON (WE USED HIS INHEIRTANCE FOR THE DOWN PAYMENT} WE BOTH AGREE TO SELL OFF THE HOUSE. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EQUITY IN THE HOUSE TO COVER WHAT IS OWED AND THEN A LITTLE LEFT OVER. DO I NEED A PARALEGAL FOR THIS PROBLEM ?
