Publisher's Description

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.
