Mediation to Stay Married (also known as Marital Mediation) has become a natural
extension of my work as a divorce mediator and a divorce lawyer. I would see a couple
(or one of them) in the process of getting divorced, and would wonder, "If I could
have met with them as a mediator six months earlier, or a year earlier, could I
have helped them with their marriage, rather than helping them get a divorce?" The
answer is that in many instances, mediating an ongoing marriage can be a very effective
way for a couple to work through some of the issues that are pulling them apart.
Mediation to Stay Married tends to be very effective, short-term, and targeted to
the very problems that are hurting the couple the most. It is good for couples to
know that this is a resource available to them.

Take the Marriage Quiz and find out.
Your marriage needs help. But where do you turn? Therapy
and counseling can help marriages. More and more, however, people are turning to
marital mediation to try to transform their relationships. If an attorney is the
mediator, the couple can make use of the attorney's financial and legal knowledge.
I practice Mediation to Stay Married™. Positive
and practical, it deals with the here and now, using the mediation process and the
law to empower marriages, not give up on them.
Some common situations where Mediation To Stay Married can be helpful:
- The financial challenges of second marriages
- One spouse is an entrepreneurial risk-taker
- Different spending patterns are threatening the marriage
- Couples considering divorce who want insight into the law
- Financial setbacks have caused stress and lack of trust
