Divorcing with Dignity: Mediation: The Sensible Alternative

This practical guide provides an alternative to the standard methods of arbitration and litigation used by divorcing couples--and shows how mediation can be utilized instead. Based on the author's professional experience in law and as a minister who has mediated for more than five hundred couples, Tim Emerick-Cayton provides illustrations on how to survive the pain and anguish of divorcing while maintaining personal integrity and faith. With case examples of those who have experienced successful mediation, Emerick-Cayton shows how mediation reduces cost, hostility, and confusion. Emerick-Cayton says mediated agreements are complied with almost twice as often as court-rendered judgments.
