Divorce mediation California provides couples who have decided to end their marriage with a dissolution process that will be less stressful for the children than the traditional court-based divorce route.  It is a fact of life that no matter who is to blame for the failure of a marriage to thrive, children continue to love both their fathers and their mothers.  The adults in the situation may be understandably enraged at one another, particularly if infidelity is a factor in the decision to divorce, but it is not in the best interests of the children that this rage be freely expressed in their presence.

Divorce Mediation California Means Caring about the Children

Even worse than open rage can be the frequent tactic employed in divorce of asking a child to decide whom he or she most wants to live with.  Asking a child to choose between mother and father is truly unnatural, particularly when both husband and wife may be making a practice of venting their negative feelings about the marriage relationship, and even casting aspersions on their spouse. 

Adversarial court processes involved in divorce make some of these scenarios more likely, if not inevitable, but thankfully, there is another option.  Divorce mediation, combined if necessary with child custody mediation, provides couples with a way to resolve their differences without rancor.
