Founding President, Divorce Mediator
CurrentDivorce Team.Most couples and parents do not need a courtroom to battle out their divorce, but rather a coordinated team of services that emphasizes problem solving and planning for the future. The Center for Divorce Resolution offers coordinated services in a centralized location designed to help individuals work through disputes to thoroughly resolve their issues in separation and divorce. Controlled Costs.At the Center for Divorce Resolution, we customize a service plan that is specific to the needs of the couple and family. The service plan will outline all of the services and projected costs associated with the services. Knowing the anticipated costs will greatly reduce your financial anxiety throughout the process and leave you feeling more in control.Less Anxiety.The impact of using an interdisciplinary team to provide divorce services lowers levels of stress, anxiety, and depression and decreases acrimony between the parties. In addition, this model increases shared decision-making skills, improves communication skills, increases confidence in the ability to co-parent, decreases levels of parenting stress in terms of parental distress, and sets more appropriate emotional expectations for their children.Children First.A substantial body of research has shown that conflict between parents during the divorce and separation process can put children at increased risk of behavioral, emotional, and psychological problems, which can persist well into adulthood. Furthermore, the adversarial process has been known to exacerbate existing hostilities between parents, placing children at the center of the dispute and hindering compromise.The Center for Divorce Resolution has at its core a dedication to positive outcomes for children. Services are offered to meet the specific needs of children and to give them a voice in the process, which has been shown to mitigate feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and fear.
