Divorce is arguably the worst thing that can happen to a marriage. The term itself signifies the end of a marriage and relationship. It’s estimated that one out of every two people who get married will get divorced. Although these statistics don’t necessarily define all marriages, it’s definitely something people have been paying close attention to. A Divorce Lawyer at Cobert, Haber and Haber can tell you how difficult some divorces can be. There tends to be a lot of bitterness and angst among either one or both parties. This is why mediation is so important.
When couples get divorced it tends to be for a few popular reasons. One of the most popular reasons for divorce is “Irreconcilable Differences.” This is a term used to describe couples who have grown apart and aren’t seeing eye-to-eye anymore. It could also mean that the couple has simply fallen out of love. Affairs are also another very popular reason for divorce. A spouse committing adultery doesn’t always spark a divorce, but most can often sympathize with the spouse who’s been cheated on. Abuse is another reason for divorce. Both men and women can be verbally, physically, and emotionally abused by their spouses. All of these reasons are why Divorce Mediation in Queens is a very good idea.
Because of the anger that many couples feel towards one another during divorce, it’s important to have a third party that is unbiased. The mediator should be the voice of reason during these proceedings. A mediator is sort of like a ‘buffer’ between the two spouses. This helps to avoid any fighting or screaming that could occur.
Having a mediator is also important when there are very valuable things at stake. Mediators can work to determine discrepancies involving money, property, and other assets. Most importantly, a mediator can work to help with custody arrangements when children are involved. When it comes to children, it’s important for both spouses to be willing to work with the mediator to find some sort of common ground.
