Post Divorce/Post Decree Issues

Modifications

As the circumstances of parents and children change after a divorce, the parties may need to revisit their parenting agreements or arrangements for child support or maintenance. These circumstances may include a change in a parent’s employment and earning power, a change in the parenting plan, extraordinary medical expenses for the child or a parent, a child changing age brackets and additional expenses for the child's education.

Relocations

Mediation gives the parents an opportunity to express their feelings about a proposed move as they work out alternative arrangements or ways to mitigate the child's loss of contact with his or her parent. 

Other post-divorce issues

Mediation can help parents address many other post-divorce issues, including: differences in child-rearing practices, competing needs for boundaries, concern about the other parent's new partner and the difficulties of adjusting to being part of a new blended "step"-family.
