In this episode, we explore the transformative potential of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation, in divorce proceedings. While litigation offers a formal trial, ADR methods provide couples with greater control over the process. However, success in mediation relies on proactive engagement and addressing underlying conflicts. A recent client’s story highlights common pitfalls, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation and communication. True empowerment in divorce comes from taking responsibility for actions and decisions. By embracing mediation with commitment, individuals can shape a smoother transition and a more fulfilling post-divorce future.
