Child-friendly divorce
We each look at and question your situation from our own expertise; we complement each other as coach and lawyer-mediator. We have a broad network of specialists if you need certain additional expertise.
The mediation process starts with a free and non-binding introductory meeting with Sabien or Meike. Together we make an initial inventory and discuss our working method and rate. If you decide to arrange the divorce with us, the meetings with Meike and Sabien will take place together.
Mediation talks with Lawyer Mediator and Coach Mediator
Research shows that a number of factors strongly determine the success of mediation. One of these is quickly reaching a solution that is acceptable to everyone. That is why we offer mediation per half day.
Together you get to the core and do not have to stop because the time of your session is up; there is time to discuss what is going on and what is needed. You will receive a short report of each conversation.
Making good agreements and recording them in a parenting plan and covenant
All important parts that need to be arranged, such as:
- care and contact arrangements;
- finances
- housing and
- anything else that turns out to be important to discuss under our guidance
We will record the agreements when you both agree.
Legal procedure
We discuss the draft parenting plan and divorce agreement with you and submit them to the court if you agree. We handle the entire legal process, including registration in the municipal personal records database. You do not have to go to court yourself. We will keep you informed and inform you when everything has been finalized.
Aftercare
Subjects as:
- changes in the financial situation;
- new partners;
- agreements that do not work well in practice can lead to new discussions between ex-partners.
Do you recognize this? Come and talk to each other again; as ex-partners and/or as parents. You are welcome, even if you did not follow the mediation process with us.
Communication
During your relationship, patterns have developed in how you talked and interacted with each other. These patterns may continue to exist after the divorce, with all the frustration that this entails. We uncover what is happening and help you on your way to a new way of communicating as parents.
Changed agreements
Divorce is a turbulent time. It happens, that agreements you made at the time of the divorce turn out not to be feasible. Or due to changes in a situation they need to be reviewed and perhaps adjusted.
If you want to come to an agreement together
Coming to an agreement together is always preferable to a procedure. Aftercare through Child Friendly Divorce can be the solution for you.
