v “Will my kids be okay?” “I don’t want to be one of those single parents who has a different last name than my children”
Divorcing parents typically wrestle with fears regarding their children’s wellbeing during and after divorce. A good divorce mediator can help parents come together to design a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the children. Research suggests that the single most important factor in helping children weather divorce is if both parents are communicating respectfully to and about one another in the presence of the children. The fact is, even after divorce, loving parents must continue to communicate and collaborate for the sake of their kids. Mediation is a great first step in learning how to make this happen.
