Mediation worked way better than I expected

1w ago·1 min read

Honestly was dreading going through mediation but our mediator was really good. Got us to agree on a custody schedule that actually works for both of us and the kids. Still not easy seeing my daughter go back and forth but at least now there's structure and we're not fighting about it constantly. If anyone's going through divorce right now, I'd say try mediation before court. Cost way less and felt less hostile than arguing with lawyers.

What kind of things did your mediator do that actually worked? I'm thinking about suggesting it to my ex but want to know what to expect first.

That's awesome to hear. A good mediator makes all the difference. When they actually know what they're doing it takes the emotional weight off and you can focus on what matters, which is the kids.

This is awesome man. Mediation saved us a ton of money and kept things civilized when they could have gotten ugly. Sounds like you got the same benefit.

Mediation was such a game changer for us too. I went in expecting the worst but our mediator helped us actually listen to each other instead of just arguing. Glad you got some good outcomes out of it.

This gives me hope honestly. We're probably heading that direction and I was nervous about how it would go. What kind of stuff did you end up agreeing on?

Mediation gets a bad rap but honestly it works so much better than going back and forth with lawyers charging you by the hour. Glad you had a good experience.

Any recommendations on where to find a good mediator? Looking into this myself and don't want to end up with someone who's just going to take your money.
