What is the role of the divorce mediator?
As the mediator, I facilitate the discussions between you and your spouse. In this capacity, I provide a safe environment, encourage each of you to actively participate in making decisions, and help you to focus on goals for the future (and not on blame for the past.) I make sure that both of you have the same complete and accurate information. I also help both of you to develop options and to consider the consequences of those options so that you can make informed decisions. Perhaps most important of all, I encourage each of you to become self-sufficient and to take responsibility for making your own decisions.
