"Being a chaplain and ordained pastor, I’m aware of the deep hurts of divorce."
I can’t thank you enough for your assistance with this. Some issues came up that could have been additional strain and damage, but you kept us on course. Thanks first to God and secondly to you for guiding us in working this out. I am certain that both my ex-wife and I are in a much better situation today not having gone through our divorce with attorneys in the court system. I am very thankful and grateful to you for making this process easier to handle. Blessings, Proverbs 15:1

It was as good an experience as it could be, considering the circumstances. Michael was extremely calming and did a great job diffusing tense situations.

Legal conflict during and after divorce can seriously impact children. Experts agree that ongoing fighting can harm their development and lead to long-term emotional and psychological challenges.
Mediation puts your children first—protecting their well-being and supporting their healthy development. Our mediators understand kids’ needs during divorce and help set the stage for strong, cooperative co-parenting.
Research shows that when parents work together during and after divorce, children are more likely to adjust well and stay emotionally healthy long-term. Ongoing conflict, on the other hand, is one of the biggest causes of lasting emotional challenges for kids.
Mediation helps reduce conflict and create a clear co-parenting plan. When parents are able to adjust well after divorce, their children are more likely to adjust well too.
Research shows that parents who choose mediation often maintain stronger, more meaningful relationships with their children long after the divorce.
