Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution opportunity that allows the parties to decide together what will work for the new family unit going forward. Each family is unique and each side enters into litigation with their own stories, points of view, and histories. Dissolution is a painful process, but working together in mediation to resolve issues, rather than airing grievances in an open court, can set the stage for more peaceful co-parenting in the future. And coming together to resolve a case in mediation allows for finality with certainty so each party can move on and start the healing process.

An except from “You Could Make This Place Beautiful”by Maggie Smith:

On the divorce paperwork, you have to list a reason. There is no box to check next to viral poem or thrown cup of water or pinecone or billable hours or miscarriages or work travel or postcard or stowaway or depression or ultimatums or excised notebook papers or creative frustration or daycare drop-offs or silent treatment. Irreconcilable differences didn’t cover it-I could see a pages-long parenthetical after the term, a list of what had happened, a list of clues in a mystery I could not and will not solve. But the term would have to do.

In one divorce announcement after another, high-profile couples are abiding by the golden rule of the schoolyard: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

An old man told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between
two wolves inside us all." "One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed,
resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace. love, hope, humility, kindness,
empathy and truth." The boy thought about it,
and asked.
"Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man quietly replied,
"The one you feed."

Good article to read about why it is important for children that parents try to remain amicable after divorce.

I’m so much more excited by the prospect of being on my own than I am at the idea of trying to make an ill-fitting, off-the-rack partnership fit like tailored couture.

Cited from Florida Law Weekly:

47 Fla. L. Weekly D84b
Attorney's fees -- Dissolution of marriage -- Amount of attorney's fees awarded to former wife for work performed by two law firms in high-conflict divorce proceedings was not supported by competent, substantial evidence -- Testimony by wife's expert was not competent to establish fees where testimony was not accompanied by other competent evidence of hours expended and hourly rates -- Remand for new evidentiary hearing is not required where former wife failed to present any competent evidence of her fees at the original hearing that would justify remand for a subsequent hearing.
