Marital Separation Agreements - A Guide for Non-Lawyer Mediators (Paperback)

Mediators assisting divorcing parties face many challenges not found in mediations of other types of cases. Never do emotions run higher than when children are involved. Who gets primary custody? How will visitation be determined or divided? How will support amounts be decided?

This guide will help them be able to assess the risks and to navigate more safely as they practice their craft.
