How to Save Money and Affirm Life by Mediating Your Divorce

Regardless of the extent of financial assets or how fathomless one’s pockets, to spend money unnecessarily on divorce is imprudent.

So, I want to invite you, if you are thinking about divorce, to give some careful thought to where you want to invest your resources: Are you willing to set aside $40,000 or $50,000 each to pursue an adversarial process?

No one would pay $100,000 for a stressful, painful, acrimonious, protracted, loss-of-control, bilious experience. No one would knowingly pay to have pain, drain their family resources—both financially and emotionally—and incur stress and debt that bleeds into every area of life, at least for a time.

In this excellent blog posting, Rachel Alexander writes how managing the conflict of divorce through mediation substantially reduces angst and cost while simultaneously increases possibilities for creative resolutions while addressing and managing sources of stress.
