On January 30, 2024, Dr. Ann Buscho’s blog on divorce was published here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/a-better-divorce/202401/7-emotions-how-it-may-feel-to-decide-to-divorce. The many powerful emotions that accompany divorce were described in such terms as grief, shame, anxiety and anger. For those parties who choose to litigate their divorce, there will be a delayed opportunity to try to heal from the divorce process. The litigation stage will only exacerbate negative feelings such as anger and anxiety.
Dr. Buscho wisely advises her clients who are divorcing to take the more benign path of mediation or collaborative divorce. Along with the other sound reasons for getting divorced through ADR, one can surely add the need to try to allow the healing stage to come sooner and with fewer challenges. Place mental health as yet another reason to try to get to Win-Win through the process of divorce mediation.
Mediate don’t litigate.
