“We want to divorce like responsible adults and want to control the decisions we make, rather than fighting it out in court and relying on a judge to make important decisions for us.”
“We don’t want to spend a lot of money and time on a divorce and think we can come to an agreement on most things.”
“We already agree on almost everything, but we need some help in resolving a few complex things where we can’t come to an agreement.”
“We need help to decide how we share our children and coparent in a way that reduces the negative effects of our divorce on our children.”
If any of this sounds familiar, Advanced Resolutions Counseling can help you end your marriage in the most peaceful, amicable, and cooperative way for yourself, your partner, and your children.
ONLINE DIVORCE RECOVERY COUNSELING
Divorce recovery counseling is a therapeutic process designed to help individuals heal and rebuild their lives after a divorce.
It focuses on addressing the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges that come with the end of a marriage, such as grief, identity loss, and adjusting to new life circumstances.
This type of counseling provides support in processing difficult emotions, developing coping strategies, and regaining a sense of self-worth and direction.
Together, we’ll help you move forward with resilience, embracing new opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment.
ONLINE DIVORCE MEDIATION
Once the difficult decision to divorce or end a relationship has been made, divorce mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral mediator helps divorcing couples reach mutually agreeable decisions on key issues such as asset division, child custody, and support arrangements.
Unlike a courtroom setting, mediation allows couples to maintain control over the outcomes, encouraging open communication and reducing conflict.
The goal is to achieve a fair and amicable settlement that meets both parties' needs, often leading to a quicker, less expensive, and less adversarial process. A couple may choose to involve attorneys to complete the divorce, but mediation keeps more control of the outcome between the two parties and reduces the overall costs of litigation.
Divorce mediation is appropriate for a wide range of couples, particularly those who are seeking a more amicable and cooperative approach to dissolving their marriage. Some specific situations where divorce mediation is beneficial include:
-
Mediation is ideal for couples looking to avoid the adversarial nature of court proceedings and to save time, stress, and money. Mediation typically moves more quickly than court litigation. Couples can schedule sessions at their convenience, avoiding lengthy court scheduling delays.
-
Mediation helps parents develop mutually agreeable parenting plans, fostering communication and cooperation to prioritize the best interests of their children. The non-adversarial nature of mediation reduces emotional strain, as it minimizes conflict and hostility. This can have long-term benefits for emotional recovery and well-being post-divorce, especially when children are involved.
-
Mediation allows for flexible and creative solutions when dividing assets, debts, and property, especially in cases with complex financial matters like business ownership or investments. Mediation is also generally less expensive than litigation since it avoids the high costs of attorney representation in prolonged legal battles, and multiple court appearances.
-
Mediation empowers both parties to participate in the decision-making process, rather than leaving the final decisions to a judge. Unlike the rigid structure of court decisions, mediation allows for creative, tailored solutions to fit the unique needs of the family. Couples can work out flexible agreements that suit their personal and financial circumstances.
-
Even if there is conflict, mediation works well for couples who are willing to engage in open dialogue and negotiate in good faith. Mediation fosters a cooperative, rather than confrontational, environment. This can reduce tension, leading to less emotional stress during an already challenging time.
-
Unlike court proceedings, which are public, mediation is confidential, making it a preferred option for couples who value privacy.
While divorce mediation can be provided by attorneys or financial experts, working with a therapist can be especially helpful in cases where emotional and psychological issues are an ongoing concern. Regardless of their background, mediators must remain neutral, facilitate communication, and assist couples in reaching mutually acceptable agreements without imposing decisions on them.
In addition to being licensed therapists, our mediators have received proper divorce medication training to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to handle divorce cases effectively.
This training includes a minimum of 40-hour divorce mediation training that is approved in Oklahoma for divorce mediation.
Our therapists also have additional training and experience in conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and communication skills to facilitate effective mediation.
At ARC, our therapists are skilled at managing emotional dynamics and fostering communication, offering a structured, supportive, and collaborative environment to resolve disputes amicably through the divorce mediation process.
By focusing on these collaborative strategies, mediation helps address many of the legal, emotional, and practical challenges that accompany a divorce, creating a more amicable and solution-oriented process. Access to legal advice and financial experts can also be provided when needed.
