Center for Cooperative Divorce
Mediation is primarily for couples who desire to minimize the costs of divorce, provide a healthy, supportive environment for their children, and create a pragmatic divorce agreement that will be sustained over time. In our approach, couples meet with us as a team. By utilizing the diverse expertise and backgrounds of two mediators, clients are offered a unique opportunity to create solutions to very difficult issues.The mediation team brings a breadth of experience and knowledge to the process. Professional and practical experience in law, accounting, business operations, and facilitating interpersonal relationships with families, parents, children, couples and individuals, are among some of the special skills offered by the mediation team.Our mediation philosophy is an extension of our work the last 15 years which included the formation of KIDSCOPE, a parent education/training program, CRYSTAL RIVER, a non-profit community mental health clinic, and the coordination and supervision of the counseling program for a local elementary school district. We help to build bridges so that couples will honor agreements rather than burn bridges which motivate ongoing battles, even after a judgment is imposed.
