Founding Attorney and Mediator at San Diego Divorce Mediation & Family Law
Answered 2 years ago
In working with couples with high-conflict personalities, it is important that they understand the particulars about my mediation process in order to understand if our firm is a fit. Mediation has so many benefits but for these high-conflict cases, the mediator style and process will be the key to whether mediation succeeds. Sometimes people assume that the only way to handle a divorce with a high-conflict partner is to lawyer up and get a shark. In reality, this approach leads to enormous financial and emotional costs. In almost all cases, you can achieve a better divorce through a cooperative process, not a combative one. It is possible to mediate with narcissistic personalities if you plan and prepare by learning how to step away from the dance of conflict so you can create the stable, joyful and fulfilling life you and your children deserve. Explaining the process and laying out a clear plan for these cases allows couples to prepare for the sessions, understand how the process will work, and be aware of the topics in advance so they can anticipate and prepare for discussions.
