Not making a choice is making a choice

Sometimes we get calls from potential clients who have done some research and have already decided they are getting a divorce and using a divorce mediator to do it.  They schedule an appointment for the immediate future and get the ball rolling now.  More often than not, however, we get the call from a potential client who is not sure what s/he wants and is looking for information about how this whole divorce thing actually works.  The client is not absolutely sure that s/he wants to get divorced, but is considering it.   They are scared about the unknowns of their potential new futures (finances, kids, being single again, having to start all over, etc.).  They thank me for the information and hang up still not sure what they are going to do.  Not making a choice is making a choice.

If you are not making a choice to change the status of your marriage and get divorced, then you are choosing to stay married.  And that is fine.  You will never get any pressure from the mediators at
Westfield Mediation, LLC that you have to get divorced.  It is a big decision and should not be taken lightly.  So if you call us one day and then continue to stay married for the next 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, whatever, it makes no difference.  You can always call us back if and when you are ready to get divorced.

People usually consider getting a divorce for a while before taking any actual steps to get divorced.  It is not a snap decision.  During that initial phone inquiry we can give you a general overview of how the process of divorce mediation works and give your some realistic information about amount of time and costs involved. Knowledge is power and we want our clients to be making important life decisions for their futures from a position of strength.  We will be here if or when you are ready to make a different choice about your marital status.
