How does a mediator stay neutral and avoid taking sides?
Because the mediator won’t be making decisions for the divorcing couple, he or she doesn’t need to decide who’s right or wrong. Not only that, it is the mediator’s job to help the spouses come up with an agreement that is acceptable to both parties, so the mediator makes a point of looking at the issues from both sides. Mediators who have been professionally trained have learned techniques for doing this.
