Pre-Marital, Marital and Post-Marital Mediation Services

Pre-Marital Mediation is an effective way to address conflicts between couples anticipating marriage. Issues suitable for mediation range from financial issues, such as the need for a pre-nuptial agreement, to cultural issues, such as divergent religions. The examination of the couple’s values in these areas prior to marriage can avoid conflicts that may occur down the road.

Marital Mediation is similar to divorce mediation, but it is used by the intact couple to hopefully avoid divorce. Unlike marital therapy, it is forward looking and deals with concrete issues facing the couple such as re-location, financial problems, and parenting conflicts. The mediation process provides an opportunity for the couple to enhance their communication skills and better deal with conflicts that may arise in the future.

Post-Divorce Mediation can be useful to a divorced couple as new issues arise. It is impossible for a couple’s separation agreement to anticipate every issue the couple will face over time. As children grow, their needs change and families must adjust. Grandparents and other members of extended families may cause family conflict over their access to and influence upon children. Financial issues may also arise as people change careers, relocate, retire or face other unexpected events. Post-Divorce Mediation can help the divorced couple avoid returning to court to resolve these conflicts.
