 Family Law & Legal Models
There are several different legal models within which to draft your legal documents and settle your divorce. Here is is a review of one of those models.
Mediation
In this model you and your spouse still retain control over the decisions made. Hiring a mediator to assist you through the negotiation of a few sticking points, you work together to develop solutions for your family’s transition. Mediators can either be non-lawyers or lawyers, depending on your preference. You can also choose to involve your legal counsel in the process or not.
The mediator is a ‘neutral’ party and cannot give you legal advice during the process or advocate for one party or another.

 Emotional
The separation and divorce process can be an emotional roller coaster. Understanding and recognizing the normal emotional transitions within this process may help you to identify where you, or your partner, are at any given time. This is important in knowing when to step back and not push to have a decision made. Depending on where your emotional state is, it may be better to pause and work on getting your emotional state in line before proceeding.
Emotional support can come in many forms. Family, friends, church and community support groups can assist us on a day to day basis. But, if you find that it is not enough in moving you through the emotional transition, then you should consider hiring a psychologist, therapist or divorce coach. These professionals are trained in their field and can assist you in gaining better perspective of your situation.
