What Does Mediation Really Mean?



It starts as friendship, grows warmer and blossoms into love. In a couple of years, you become such an item that marriage seems inevitable. Unfortunately, the marriage doesn’t work out as expected and at some point you decide to part ways by divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”. Do you lock horns in a court of law or part ways amicably through mediation? This article addresses the merits Liaise Divorce Solutions offers and everything it entails for couples seeking divorce.

Is Mediation Always the Better Way? 

Although there are no guarantees that you or your spouse will not go to court after mediation, it’s always worth trying. Over 90% of the couples we work with walk away with a negotiated agreement. It is a high percentage play that you can’t afford to ignore.

How does Mediation Work?

Firstly, mediation comes up as a result of mutual consent by parties to a divorce or separation process. A trained and impartial mediator (experienced in divorce issues and law) facilitates orderly deliberations until husband and wife reach a consensus. As such, you don’t see each other as adversaries.

Divorce, Mediation, and Children



No one starts out in marriage thinking they should prepare for divorce. The choice to end a marriage is an excruciating one, especially when children are involved. Liaise Divorce Mediation Services can be helpful for everyone, and many couples are using mediation rather than using lawyers to fight out divorce terms in court. Even in mediation it’s important to know how to prepare and what to do.

Preparing for Mediation

Emotional injury leads to anger. Being angry is justifiable, but it is not useful and will do more harm than good. See a professional counselor who can help you sort your emotions out and deal with hurt feelings and anger. Reaching out in this way may not come naturally, but it will pay off. 

Financial strain contributes to anxiety and fear, and again, these stress factors lend themselves to anger. Splitting up property is extremely emotional when assets are lean and debt is large. Liaise Mediated Solutions can help you manage these matters and point you to good financial counselors if need be.
