How To Begin The Divorce Mediation Process

How do I begin the divorce mediation process?

If you're interested in beginning the divorce mediation process, the first place to start would be finding a qualified mediator that you want to work with. I think what you really want to consider doing is making that a process that you include your spouse instead of excluding your spouse. Reason being, if you come home and say, "Hey, I talked to this person and this person is wonderful and I want this person to be my mediator or our mediator", your spouse may look at you and say, "Gee I don't trust that, I don't know this person, and you're up to something, I know you're up to something". So, get a list, get some recommendations, talk to some of your local, maybe you know somebody that's used a divorce mediator, maybe you've done some internet research, maybe you've talked to your clergy, maybe you've talked to your financial people, maybe you've talked to your therapist. If you know a therapist or a life coach, that's a really good place to start because they work with the mediators, they work with collaborative remediation trained individuals. Get a list, go shopping with your spouse and see what happens.
