Many Colorado divorcing couples encounter multiple disputes during the
course of their divorce. Property, possessions and money distributions
are particularly ripe subjects for disagreement. Sometimes, the
underlying events triggering the divorce decision cause so much turmoil,
people are not able to use their own common sense. When under
extreme stress, people don’t trust their own judgment. Often trust is so
severely broken that clear thinking is overcome by fear, resulting in
extraordinary efforts to protect one’s self.
For our divorce mediations, we most commonly use a co-mediation
format with one male and one female mediator working together on a
case. They are not advocating for the party of their gender, but rather
help each side hear and carefully consider the other side's position on a
given issue. Mediators are dealing with specific issues of conflict.
Mediation is not therapy, and there is no effort to try to repair the
relationship. Sometimes, communication coaching may take place
during mediation to help the parties deal with each other using more
effective communication techniques. We have worked successfully with
couples who are extremely contenous towards each other, and we are
skilled at calming down the communications so that you can hear each
other..
The outcome of divorce mediation can be a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) or a Separation Agreement. In this, the parties
define how they will split their assets and debt. Sometimes,
maintenance or alimony is addressed in this stage. A MOU can be given
to an attorney to prepare the Separation Agreement for filing with the
court.
Prior to or during the mediation, the mediators can provide helpful
resources to help the each party make good decisions for themselves.
