Online mediation is fast, efficient, and effective and may be more accessible for some couples. The sessions can occur over a multitude of video conferencing services like Zoom or Google Meet and if needed, via conference call. The mediator will engage in mediation as though they were meeting with the couple in-person and focus on facilitating a discussion geared toward coming to a mutually acceptable agreement. As mediation comes to a close and a final agreement has been wri...tten, documents requiring signatures can usually be signed and transmitted electronically. Conducting mediation sessions remotely provides several benefits for families, including: 1) Accessibility: Conducting a online mediation session can be more comfortable than meeting with your spouse and mediator in-person. All you need is a phone or computer and a stable internet connection. An added plus is that it is generally easier to set an appointment that works for all parties involved because they can be squeezed into the middle of a busy day without having to spend time commuting. 2) Convenience: Parties are able to conduct sessions from work, at home, while traveling, or from wherever they might be. Given you can avoid traffic, travel costs, and looking for parking, couples can save lots of time. Online mediation is especially convenient for those who travel frequently and/or have moved out of town, but still want to mediate their divorce settlement. 3) Comfort: Some spouses want to use mediation butbeing in the same room as their spouse can bring up feelings of anger, distress, and pain. Online mediation has the power to mediate those by helping couples (literally) maintain their distance while they work out their differences from a comfortable and safe space. 4) Increases options: If you live in a smaller town or rural area, you may find it difficult to find a mediator in your area. Online mediation provides couples with the opportunity to find a mediator that meets their needs without having to travel a long distance or settle for the closest mediator. #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #familymediation

For a child to witness one or both parents in a state of panic, anxiety or sadness can have profound and long lasting psychological affects on them. It is therefore paramount for parents to learn and utilise tools that will help them deal with sensitive issues calmly, discreetly and with a view of resolving conflict swiftly. Studies show that couples who cooperate during separation produce children who feel less stressed, and more confident and at peace within a separated family unit.

Separating from a partner is never easy. However, separating from a partner who has narcissistic tendencies or has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can be even harder. People with a narcissistic personality (NP) can be characterized by two main traits: grandiosity and lack of empathy. Because people with NPD do not show empathy, it is hard to show any in return during tumultuous situations such as divorce. Although you may be dreading divorcing your partner who has dis...played narcissistic personality traits, finding a strong mediator who is well versed in personality disorders or high-conflict personalities can be extremely helpful. As you search for a mediator, ask questions about what type of people they have worked with in the past and how they can best support you in managing the behaviors that often accompany narcissistic personalities if your spouse has NPD. #divorce #divorcemediation #mediation #narcissist #narcissism #divorcinganarcissist #narcissistic #abuse

Children are often a central point of struggle during a divorce, and naturally parents become very concerned at how such conflict and separation will impact on their children. Unfortunately separation can often become a battleground of intensified emotions , anxiety and heart ache - and thus it is essential to take conscious & pro active measures to reduce the exposure of conflict and trauma upon children. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Financial matters are a primary topic of discussion in divorce mediation. While the matter of how much money you have in the bank is quite simple to figure out, it is often a bit more difficult to sort out the entirety of your combined assets and liabilities. In order to make sure your needs are met, it is important for you to be informed of how your money, belongings, etc., will be split. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Mediation helps individuals through empathy, rather than dividing them through the prospects of revenge or victory. It operates through compassion and love, rather than hate or dispassionate neutrality. It allows each side to listen to the others without becoming defensive, and encourages collaboration. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Is there a realistic alternative to the legal system? I believe there is. It is one in which results are obtained voluntarily, and decisions are made by consensus. It is one in which people are encouraged to act honestly, empathetically, collaboratively, humbly, and creatively; where people are allowed to be human, direct, and open; where anyone can understand what is happening and participate fully without professional jargon. It is one without coercion, that encourages collaboration and permits both sides to win. It is mediation. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Legal proceedings inevitably cause conflict for spouses, and as a result, children may be exposed to a harmful, tempestuous environment while the divorce carries on. One way couples can prevent more conflict and see lasting positive outcomes is by choosing mediation over litigation. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

It is easy to find yourself overwhelmed by the emotion of a divorce and in turn overlook the effect snide comments or passive aggressive actions may have on children caught in the middle. If these conflicts are impossible to overlook, it may be more feasible to parent individually. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Coparenting during and post separation can be complicated & stressful. Hurt, anger & other emotions can still be prevalent. No one can be the perfect parent. All one can do educate oneself on what should be the primary focus. These suggestions by child rearing experts are critical to the healthy development of your children. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful

Divorce stress on children can affect their emotions. This is because their coping methods are heavily influenced by their parents’ relationship. If the separation is characterized by increased conflict, it creates a stressful environment for children. The emotional turmoil created by high conflict will increase the negative effects endured by children caught in the middle of their parents’ separation. Thus, it is important to curb the amount of conflict in which you are involved for the sake of your children. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution

Children are privy to their parent’s relationship, meaning that it is essential that parents reflect on how they interact with one another. #coparenting #happykids #parents #children #healthydivorce #mediation #divorcemediation #online #onlinemediation #divorce #conflictresolution #peaceful
