A lot of parents disagree about where their children should reside and what is best for them after they have separated. They become entangled in a battle that, if left unchecked and unresolved, might have long-term detrimental consequences for their children. Children go from living in one house with no limits to suddenly being forced to live in two households with two distinct sets of arrangements, which is frequently perceived as unjust or unreasonable by one or both of their parents.
Also possible is that youngsters will be trapped in the middle of the conflict and may be expected to take on roles or pass on messages. They may be conflicted, guilty, furious, and depressed. They will just want to get on with their life and will frequently expect their mother and father to take care of things.
Even when they have quite different perspectives at the outset of the process, the success of mediation is dependent on two persons desiring to resolve their issue.
In some cases, mediation is not an appropriate solution. If you have been in a violent or abusive relationship with the other parent of your kid, mediation may not be the best option for you at this time.
There may be practical reasons why mediation is not viable, such as not being able to attend because of where you reside or having a handicap that prevents you from attending.
Our professional mediators give you with the skills you need to unravel all of the strands that have entangled your family, discover new methods of interacting, and, most significantly, assist parents in assisting their children in making the required modifications to family life.
In order to lay a firm foundation for a bright and happy future, we strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for each client in every situation.
Parental disagreements are a common aspect of most family interactions. Although there is a vast amount of research to support the notion that parental conflict is detrimental to children's mental health and long-term results, when it is frequent, severe, and poorly handled, it does not appear to be.
Parental conflict can have negative consequences for children's outcomes regardless of whether the parents are married or divorced, or whether they are biologically related to the kid, as in mixed or foster households. The presence of conflict between parents, whether they are married or separated, is associated with a variety of problems for children and young people as they grow up, including mental health difficulties, lower academic outcomes, fewer employment opportunities, and poor future relationship prospects.
