Divorce Involving Extended Family Members

Family mediation can be particularly beneficial when it comes to addressing issues involving extended family members during a divorce. Here are some key advantages to the mediation service.

• Inclusive Discussions: Mediation allows for the inclusion of extended family members in discussions, ensuring their concerns and perspectives are considered. This can be especially important in cases where grandparents or other relatives  play a significant role in the children's lives.

• Maintaining Relationships: By fostering a cooperative environment, mediation helps preserve  important family relationships. This can be crucial for children who  benefit from maintaining strong bonds with their extended family.

• Customized Solutions: Mediation provides the flexibility to create tailored agreements  that address the unique dynamics of extended families. This can include visitation schedules, holiday arrangements, and other specific needs.

• Reduced  Conflict: The collaborative nature of mediation can help reduce conflicts      not only between the divorcing couple but also among extended family  members. This can lead to a more harmonious post-divorce family environment.

• Confidentiality: Mediation  sessions are private, which can help protect the family's privacy and prevent extended family disputes from becoming public.

• Focus on  Children's Well-being: Mediation prioritizes the best      interests of the children, ensuring that their relationships with extended  family members are preserved and nurtured.
