3 Tips For a More Conflict-Free Divorce Through Mediation

Team info
Description	In our culture, we are conditioned to believe that divorce and conflict are synonymous. Think about how many movies and TV shows you have seen that feature a contentious, ugly courtroom battle to depict a messy divorce. With examples like that, it’s no wonder that people tend to think of a divorce as a terrible, life-ruining prospect. While we agree that divorce is hardly ever an easy or pleasant decision to make, we also know that it doesn’t have to be the lengthy, painful nightmare it’s often made out to be. In fact, with the right attitude, an open mind and an ability to cooperate with your soon-to-be ex-spouse, a divorce can bring about an exciting new chapter that allows each of you to be the best versions of yourselves. Here are three tips from a Denver divorce mediator for settling a divorce with as little conflict as possible by using mediation: Tip #1: Choose a mediator who is experienced in divorce mediation. A good mediator will be able to help you and your soon-to-be former spouse communicate effectively and reach a mutually agreeable settlement. Additionally, it’s important to be honest with your mediator, as they cannot help you if you are not upfront about your needs and desires. Tip #2: Be prepared to compromise. Mediation is not about winning or losing. It is about finding a solution that works for both of you. Be willing to listen to your spouse's concerns and be open to compromise while coparenting. Most importantly, be respectful of your spouse, even if you are angry or hurt. The outcome of your mediation process is largely dependent on how well you can cooperate, so it’s in both of your best interests to play ball. Tip #3: Focus on the future. Mediation is an opportunity to start fresh. Put the past behind you and focus on creating a positive future for yourself and your children. Try activities like yoga, meditation or taking long walks to relieve stress and stay centered, especially while waiting for the divorce to be finalized. Talking to a therapist might also help you sort out the complex emotions that come with divorce so you can focus on the good times ahead. Benefits of Divorce Mediation Along with helping you to settle your divorce with less conflict, there are many other benefits to choosing divorce mediation. For example, mediation is often much less expensive and faster than a courtroom divorce. Choosing mediation is also more likely to result in a settlement that is beneficial to both parties. Best of all, using a Denver divorce mediator to end your marriage can help to preserve the relationship between you and your spouse and make coparenting easier if you have children. Divorce is never a fun topic, but it doesn’t have to be the conflict-filled drama you see in movies and TV. Choosing mediation can help you and your spouse get over this difficult time and into a brighter future for everyone in your family.
