The legal process of divorce is considered adversarial - in the eyes of the court, the husband and wife are considered to be 'enemies' with opposing interests and little to no mutual agreement. While this is a logical approach from a legal standpoint, it has the effect of exacerbating the already strained relationship between the soon-to-be-ex-spouses. It's not much of a surprise that divorces are so often ugly, financially draining, and emotionally devastating. Enter the idea of mediation. In contrast to traditional divorce proceedings, mediation sessions are aimed at cooperation rather than differentiation; that is, instead of treating husband and wife as adversaries, mediation[..]

Mediation, by nature and definition, bridges the emotional gulf that can exist between couples. The need to assess priorities, explore opinions, and achieve compromises requires mediators to learn as much as possible about relationships and the individual partners so that both parties are equally represented. Because the ultimate goal of mediation is mutual satisfaction with the settlement agreement, a good mediator has to listen, understand, and interpret the wide variety of emotions every couple brings to mediation. Losing someone you once loved through divorce is not quick or sudden. It is a long and agonizing process and a good mediator can help you understand the process and see the[..]

of my earliest memories have to do with my fascination with fish. Every ride in the car was spent looking for water and then trying to find evidence of fish. I lived for the day that I could go fishing, but my dad didn’t share my enthusiasm. As I got older, he reluctantly allowed me to fish in the lake at one of the local parks, provided I had all of my chores, homework, and practice finished. As you can guess, the fishing wasn't too good at the park, so I dreamed of the day that I might be able to fish in a local sand pit. I knew how big the fish would be given the fact that the lake had been fenced off and nobody had fished there for years. Needless to say I was overjoyed the day[..]

When it comes to child support, men end up becoming a walking wallet to their ex-wives with their visitation of their children at stake. Child support is one way that women use the courts to take advantage of their ex-husbands, thinking that hitting them straight in the wallet will hurt them the most. However, knowing how child support works in the courtroom will give you a huge advantage over your ex-wife. Each state has its own guidelines as to how to figure child support, and it is typically based off income of each party and uses a formula to figure what is fair and just for obligation of payments to your ex-wife. The key to getting this done in your favor is by getting numerous[..]

Alternative Dispute Resolution is one of the best solutions in modern law. While the courts today are overcrowded and in many provinces the amount of cases like personal injuries just can’t be handled fast enough — alternative solution (through any other resolution than litigation) usually is the best solution.

It was probably during a period where you had a great deal on your mind or you were feeling stress. Upon[..]

Why trust and divorce can go hand in hand The emerging field of collaborative law is viewed with equal parts hope and skepticism. On one hand, courts, lawyers and divorcing couples, especially those with children, have struggled to find a way to make divorce less bitter and less emotionally draining. In a collaborative divorce, the parties seek to minimize the amount of pain experienced by children and parents by agreeing not to go to court and instead to participate in a series of negotiations to address all aspects of their divorce. The parties agree that all discussions and information provided remains confidential The parties are not permitted to use threats of litigation,[..]

Sometimes a little bit of humor can help us put things in perspective and relieve a little bit of tension in a given situation. Mediation is a great tool to resolve divorce issues, but it doesn't work in every situation, especially in a situation where the parties are set on a particular outcome. With that in mind, I offer you a list of 10 signs why mediation may not work in your divorce. While some of these 10 signs may seem silly, they all contain a grain of truth which can make mediation a useless pursuit for the parties. They can reflect a particular state of mind that is not really conducive to negotiating and reaching a divorce settlement agreement. I use the second-person singular[..]

Writer's Block, as defined by Wikipedia is, "is a condition, associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. The condition varies widely in intensity. It can be trivial, a temporary difficulty in dealing with the task in hand. At the other extreme, some "blocked" writers have been unable to work for years on end, and some have even abandoned their careers." Having a block while you are writing can feel devastating. You may experience it during a college paper that you are writing, your book, being a journalist or while doing your twitter update. We are going to focus on unblocking creative blocks that you may be experiencing, and we[..]

I am writing this article to present meditation as one of the powerful tools for reduction (and possible cure) of anxiety disorder. As we will see, meditation not only helps to reduce anxiety, but it also presents several other benefits, some of which I listed here.

It is uncertain the exact date that the practice of meditation began, but it is believed that it started several thousands years ago in the eastern societies. Meditation is practiced as part of religious traditions and also as a separate[..]

Philadelphia's Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Pilot Program commenced in May of 2008. In a very short time it caught the attention of the national media because of its success in helping people facing foreclosure save their homes. At the end of 2008 78% of the people who had their mortgages modified through the Philadelphia program were still in their homes. This was compared to other statistics which showed that over 50% of the time when mortgages were modified during the first quarter of 2008 the people fell behind on their mortgages within 6 months and were facing foreclosure again. So the results of the Philadelphia program were far better than the national average. Part[..]

Disagreements are usually settled based on power or rights or interests. Disputants who don't have to deal with each other ever again, often settle disputes using power or rights. Disputants who deal with each other after settlement are more willing to settle disputes in a way that gives some satisfaction to all sides. Mediation is not based on power or rights. Agreements which are somewhat satisfactory to all involved are important for people who will have dealings with each other after settlement. POWER -- The person with the most power or money gets to decide. RIGHTS -- Someone, perhaps a judge, decides based on who has the rights or who is right. INTERESTS -- Agreements based on each[..]

  Why isn't my phone ringing? This is the question that I awoke to this morning. In theory, this should be a time of abundance for my work. I know it's a bold statement, when so many others are also experiencing the effects of the economic downturn. To explain with a bit more humility, I have to wind the clock back to 2001. It was in late 2001, when I recognized something was out of balance with the company I had been with since 1985. My position was director at a prominent telecommunications company and we were experiencing the fallout of the technology industry downturn, very similar to what all industries are experiencing today. As I observed the daily decision making process of our[..]

I just read an excellent article by Cheryl Richardson, about moving on and healing after a break up.  She states that next to the death of a loved one, dealing with the end of a relationship is one of the most painful things in life that we will endure.  Thinking about this statement makes me conclude that the death of a loved one is in so many ways similar to a break up.  In both cases the relationship is drastically different from what you are used to.  With the death of a loved one, you can no longer physically be there with that person.  Same with a break up.  You miss the physicality of your past relationship…the hugs, the kisses, the lovemaking, the cuddling.  No matter[..]

The choice between accepting the change or to keep throwing tantrums at it, decides how you fare in life, in the aftermath of your divorce. There are two sides to this coin of change, the good and the not-so-good. Let us see the not-so-good side of it, first. - However ebullient you may be, despite the divorce, the loneliness of your living space and mental thoughts, sometimes, do hit home, slightly hard. However devilish your partner may have been, there are those rare shared stolen moments of joy, which keep cropping up, now and then. - Even the most hardhearted of partners do need a pillar to lean on, in their moments of doubt or unsteadiness. When this pillar or the voice of[..]

While the current version of the Ventura Voluntary Early Civil Mediation Program is relatively new, ADR options became available in Ventura in the late 1980's.  The initial ADR program, which carried on through the 1990's, was intended to implement what is commonly known as a “multi-door” concept for pursuing litigation.  Cases were referred to arbitration by court order using panelists from the Ventura local bar, and early settlement sessions were also calendared.  Mediation was often times initiated by party election using mediators from the private sector or court panels.  This system remained in effect for many years until changes to the local rules were initiated a few years[..]

As parents, we are bound to take care of our children forever, even if we split or change partners. Children should not be made to suffer and they should not be deprived of their basic needs just because the parents have decided they no longer want to live together anymore. One may decide to stop being a husband or wife, but one cannot legally step out of the role of a father or mother. Therefore, it is only normal that child custody becomes a point of combat among couples ready to divorce. What it Involves What do these battles involve? The ingredients are simple enough – a pair of human beings who had voluntarily assumed the roles of spouses – and then the role of parents. The root[..]

Pensions are an important portion of our assets. Commonly when couples register for a divorce, pensions are not included in the total assets. Pension can be a important portion of any person’s overall income but most people forget to include it while calculating the assets.

This looks to be a tough subject to many and you will find more of your questions answered here once you have read more. The asset division in every divorce case may be different and it depends upon many factors. If you believe that it is the same in every legal[..]

Before we actually delve ourselves deeper into the subject, it is necessary that we understand the prime difference between the two. Knowing the difference will help us make an apt choice. Types of Separation Most of us will be clear on the idea that a divorce will mean putting a legal end to a marriage relationship by a court of law. On the other hand, a separation process can take various forms. - Trial separation: A trial[..]

Opting for divorce creates a lot of trauma and emotional disturbance in the lives of the people. Different people involved in divorce react differently to the situation. For some, it is a liberating experience, giving them space for their intellectual and spiritual growth. For others, it may create financial problems leading to a drastic drop in their standard of living. Some may have to move away from their children for ever. How to adapt to life after divorce depends on the temperament of the individuals. Some make full use of their new-found freedom and enjoy life to the hilt by exploring new horizons. On the other hand, many divorcees keep sulking and thinking all the time about[..]

Divorce is an upsetting process. Strong emotions of anger can remain for years. Mind-set of being cast off can even be carried over to new relationships. For many divorcing couples, the most painful part of the proceedings is often the loss of self-esteem. Confronted with hardhearted thoughts of fear and anger, many people in the process of divorcing each other are often distraught by the ease in which they seem to forsake values that they had held in deep regard such as empathy, compassion, and respect. The need to hurt often takes the place of what used to be enduring and deep love. Revenge replaces considerate. Anger supplants civility. When such humanitarian values are given up, it[..]
