What Our Clients Say

"I'm very grateful to have found Separation Pathways to help navigate an extremely emotional and difficult time. It took a long time to get to this point and other avenues that I had tried to use (i.e. lawyers) had been so frustrating, disappointing and heartless."
"It has been nice to experience a very thorough and thoughtful approach from everyone i have encountered so far to this difficult process. I feel very confident that [the mediator] has our best interests at heart and expressed this with a great deal of professionalism."
"I would like to share how much I appreciate the supportive way in which I have been communicated with. This process is hard and it really feels like the approach is very caring while also being technically detailed. Thanks so much!"
"I’m very grateful that Separation Pathways is there for us at this time. Thank you."
"Very impressed with the mediator and grateful to work with her."

How is Mediation different than going to court for a Divorce?

  • A mediator is a trained family professional who acts impartially to assist both parties to reach a resolution that meets their needs, voluntarily, and with minimum conflict. 
  • If there are children, parents need to cooperate indefinitely after separation or divorce, so it is important for everyone, and especially for children, to minimize ongoing conflict.
  • Choosing mediation means that a resolution can be reached more quickly, with less stress, and at a greatly reduced cost as compared to going to court.
