“From personal experience, I know that divorce is hard. In fact, this may be one of the most traumatic things you ever go through. And the truth is, it’s even harder when the court costs and attorney’s fees really start to add up. Even if you can settle only some of your issues out of court in mediation, it could save you thousands of dollars, and months, if not years of time battling in the court system. After going through my own messy divorce several years ago, and being on your side of the mediation process, I understand what you’re going through. Divorce is an exhausting process and emotions are running high. That’s where a calm, level-headed third-party mediator comes in. Our goal together is to find solutions that you can both live with; not just settle on something to get it over with. As a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate student, I know the right questions to ask to figure out what someone’s motivation behind a certain demand really is. This can often lead to a swift and painless resolution." ~ Danielle Pond, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator
If you tried court-ordered mediation and didn’t have any luck due to the limited time constraints, working with an outside professional mediator who understands the complexities of families and how interpersonal relationships work, may help you move through the sticking points and forward with your new life faster.
