Fear of the unknown is a common occurrence in many areas of our lives. The pandemic has certainly brought this concept to the forefront of our collective minds. It is also one of the factors that makes the idea of divorce so scary. So many people stay in an unhappy marriage because they think that a miserable known is better than a happier unknown. The divorce mediators at Westfield Mediation, LLC, can help make the unknown known, which is a lot less frightening, and clear a path to a happier ending for the story of your life. A mediator offers support and allows you to take small, manageable steps to get from A to Z at a pace that makes sense for your situation. There are many decisions to make that effect your family and financial future. But you don’t have to make them all at once. And once you start making a few decisions you can see that you are capable and comfortable making many more.
It is not uncommon for couples to start mediation in very different places. One person wants the divorce more than the other person. One person may not want the divorce at all, not one bit. One person may be angry or very emotional and the other person may be flat and depressed. But what we see time and time again is how the process of divorce mediation and time transforms people. Often the person who leaves divorce mediation is very different from the person who started divorce mediation, in a positive way. Each party was able to contribute to decisions for their individual futures and empower themselves both emotionally and financially. They were able to make major life decisions slowly but surely, until all decisions about the divorce were made.
One of the major benefits of divorce mediation that allows people to make these decisions is that these decisions are not legally binding until you get to court. So, the plan you develop in mediation can be taken for a test drive and tweaked if necessary. The unknown becomes known and you can see if you like it, if it makes sense for your new futures or if adjustments are needed before being finalized in court. This makes the unknown a lot less scary.
