Resolving Divorce Issues through
Understanding
Divorce is a uniquely emotional event.  When the intensity of the divorce
leads to conflict, however, family members suffer not only in the short-
run but throughout their lives.  This is especially true when children are
involved.  Research has found that the presence of hostility is the
number one factor in determining how children will ultimately adjust.  
The goal of divorce, then, is not simply to settle financial and custody
issues but to ensure some level of understanding between the spouses.  
This is no doubt difficult—particularly when both find in themselves
profound anger, doubt, fear, sadness and numbness.  It is critical to
realize though that unless an investment in understanding is made
upfront, any solutions will be superficial at best.  Family members may in
fact get on with their lives, but lives that continued to be plagued with
conflict and resentment.  

Using either
mediation or collaborative law, I help couples address the
legal issues of the divorce with the goal of penetrating the deeper
conflict and ensuring understanding.  Ultimately, families conclude the
process with effective and lasting agreements on co-parenting, child
support, property allocation and spousal support (as appropriate).  But
perhaps most importantly, families resume life with mutual recognition
and in large part freedom from animosity.
