What to Look for in a Family or Divorce Mediator

There are many reasons you may be contemplating divorce, but we recommend trying mediation before taking the steps for file for divorce.  If you and your partner can agree to seek mediation with the intent of either reconciliation or avoiding a drawn-out and costly divorce, you need to seek a mediator that will keep conversations productive.

Here are some things to look for in a qualified mediator:

·       A good mediator will allow both partners to have their say and will know how to manage the balance of power in mediation sessions.

·       The best mediator for you and your partner will be able to win the respect of both parties.

·       A good mediator will recommend that attorneys for each party review any agreement before signing it.

·       Your mediator should have satisfied references from both sides of their mediated cases.


·       The mediator should have solid experience in handling marital estates, parenting, and custody issues, as appropriate to your situation.
