So where do you go from here? That’s the milliondollar question.

For divorcing parents who wish to co-parent its important to understand the best option to resolve conflict.

There are no road maps to help you navigate through your divorce.

Divorce does not mean that you need to resolve your issues through litigation.

There are, in fact, many ways to conflict: we compete

BENEFITS OF TRANSFORMATIVE MEDIATION

RESOURCES

PARENTING PLANS

Transformative Mediations allow parties the right to communicate directly with one another to address the issues confronting them.

Can be overwhelming at first. The terminology is brand new to most parents. My guide takes you through 1. the statutory presumptions of rights and duties given to joint managing conservators

TRANSPARANCY – no need to worry about the other parent’s agenda when they are sitting right with you talking through the problems face to face.

2. the standard possession order

COLLABORATIVE – Listen, understand and respond – what is the issue, why do you feel there is a disagreement?

4. school schedule

IN CONTROL – You set the agenda - get it all out – this conflict ends today!
