5 Myths That Stop Couples from Starting Mediation

Writer: Alan JacobsAlan Jacobs

Some people anticipating a separation or divorce think, because of frequently heard myths, they are not ready to start the mediation process. In this article Jennifer Safian debunks five of these myths.

  • We have not yet filed for our divorce in court.

  • We have not yet worked out the terms of our divorce together.

  • We have not decided what to do about the marital home.

  • We don’t get along.

  • We have not yet retained lawyers.

Many people put off beginning their mediation because of these 5 myths, but that is exactly what they are, myths. Don’t prolong what may be a very unhappy situation.
