Divorce (or not?) Strategy Sessions

The purpose of a strategy session is to help you develop a strategy that meets your needs and fits your situation.

Designed for individuals who are not sure what changes they want to make or not sure what they want to say to others in their families, divorce (or not) strategy sessions are confidential face-to-face meetings between someone in Colin Family Mediation Group and one client. Assistance with your strategic planning is based on what we have learned in our years of providing mediation services. Although we may offer some practical advice, we do not give legal advice. We can give you information about relevant laws, but, when participating in a strategy session, are not acting as lawyers or as mediators.

We help you consider the pros and cons of different courses of action and whether the plans you are considering are realistic. We help you think about how the changes you are considering will affect the various members of your family. We do not offer psychotherapy services and have not participated in any coaching certification program.

You may want to choose which service you want — either a strategy session or mediation. When someone from our group meets with only one person for a divorce strategy session, then it may not be possible for anyone from our group later to serve as that person’s mediator. It is very important for both parties to trust their mediator. When one of us has met one party separately and helped him or her with developing a strategy, it would be reasonable for the other party to worry that we might be biased in favor of what the first party wants. The mediator must act as an unbiased, neutral professional. We have had cases that started with helping one party do some planning and later involved mediating between the two parties, but this happens only if the second party can also trust the mediator.
