Couples whose marriages are in trouble face many difficult decisions, all of which have the potential for serious consequences. Some of these may be:
- Is this marriage worth saving?
- Will the children be harmed?
- What will be the ramifications of our divorce?
- How deeply will it alter our life?
You may also feel:
- Ambivalent about ending the relationship
- You are the most hurt, misunderstood, damaged, or least powerful person in the relationship
- Your partner is using the myriad of divorce counterplays as a way to stay married
- Intimidated by your partner in addressing and resolving complex and difficult issues
- We would have a great divorce if it weren't for the other party
- The divorce is your last chance to destroy the other party
We can show you a clearer picture of what lies ahead for you, and how you need to prepare for this crucial decision.
Divorce is tough enough without being surprised every step of the way. You would be ill-advised to head down a path without a clue as to what is in store for you.
For Parents:
For those who have children this approach will allow you to look at them and say:'
We, the two people who love you most, have separated in the best possible way we know how. We hope we have made this experience less painful in making this choice.'
After we have received your questionnaire our office will contact you to show where you are on the continuum of conflict relative to your spouse, children and property. We will also share with you our personalized mediation service to help you to get through this difficult period with dignity, integrity, and closure reasonably related to the issues raised. Your name and a contact telephone number are required so we can contact you. Any information submitted on this form will be kept confidential and will be used for no purpose other than interpreting your survey and discussing with you the results.
