The mediation process in family disputes is a process of communication. Mediation enables the parties to bring their positions closer together, minimize the gaps, and search for alternatives. Instead of destructive and expensive legal proceedings, and instead of destroying and blaming, the mediation process allows us to build a bridge and find solutions through mutual respect.
A mediation process facilitates a divorce based on respect and mutual agreement. Instead of negative, destructive feelings, instead of thinking of ways to hurt the other spouse, instead of traumatic experiences at the rabbinical and regular courthouses, mediation provides the option of handling the process through reconciliation, overcoming obstacles, and growing.
We conduct the mediation process with the parties in the format of an open, honest discussion, in order to settle the conflict pleasantly and respectfully. We address all of the issues and disputes that arise when a family unit is dismantled: custody, division of property, child support, and more. Our objective is to get through the conflict with the least possible damage to ourselves and our family.
According to our mediation technique, we combine meetings with each party separately, meetings with both parties together, and meetings with professionals, psychologists, emotional advisors, financial advisors, and more, in order to reach a quality, quick, and effective solution.
A family conflict that is “intimate” in its nature is worth solving within the family. Mediation allows us to feel that we, as a former couple, as a family, and despite the harsh conflict, are in control of our future and not putting our lives in the hands of a judge to decide for us.
It is important to know that there are many different ways of conducting a mediation process. I explain all of the possibilities to the parties and together with them, we choose the option best suited for them.
Our motto in a mediation process is to create a partnership during the separation process and to build a positive relationship after the divorce.
