Is mediation right for you?

Two factors influence your negotiations with your spouse, child, and future goals.

Three secrets for creating great parenting plans

Suppose you’re not confident that you can distance yourself from your personal feelings and do what’s in your children’s best interest. In that case, you should work with a professional mediator who can assist you in negotiating with your spouse. Coming up with a sound parenting plan is an essential part of setting a daily pace that lets you and your children succeed. Here are three tips to get you started:

  • Rise above your pride
    • A parenting plan isn’t just about you and your spouse. You need to remember that its primary function is to provide your children with stable living circumstances and appropriate care.
