We Don't Communicate!

I often find that couples misunderstand the role of the divorce mediator. For example, I recently met with a couple who had decided to end their marriage. Unfortunately, the Husband felt that they should work out the terms of their separation before they began mediation. I say unfortunately, because one of the reasons they were ending their marriage was because of their inability to communicate which is something I could have helped them do. I have not heard from them in several weeks and only hope they have not allowed this misunderstanding to lead them into a court battle.
