Paula Bresnan Gibson is the founder of the Gibson Mediation Group, which is a firm that exclusively does family law mediation in the areas of divorce and eldercare. Paula believes…
A BETTER WAY: When you think of separating or divorcing, the images that likely come to mind are scenes from movies: fighting, out-of-control emotions, spiraling financial costs, a protracted legal battle, and someone in a black robe making decisions that will impact you and your family for years to come. Feelings of loss, anger, confusion and hurt often make it difficult to imagine that the process of separating can be anything but destructive. It doesn’t have to be that way. THERE IS A BETTER WAY: COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE.
