Divorce Mediation: Transforming Conflict
Mari Ickes
Mediator
Divorce mediation offers a path to resolving conflict between parties to help avoid costly courtroom battles. Learn how a mediator can help transform the process of divorce negotiation.
“I am 100% confident that if we would've sought mediation instead of litigation, my ex-husband and I would've gained the skills necessary to be better parents. We would have learned how to work through our conflicts in order to focus on what was most important to both of us - our kids. Through mediation, our kids wouldn't have been put in the middle. We could have learned how to overcome being victims of our emotions and show our children a better way.”
