Divorce is undeniably tough. Whether you saw it coming or it hit you out of the blue, it can leave you feeling like you’re suddenly without solid ground. As fathers, we’re often expected to keep it together, but when family life changes this drastically, it’s hard for anyone to stay unaffected. Amidst all the upheaval, one thing many people overlook is that it doesn’t have to be a battle. Divorce mediation offers a way to sort things out without going through the courtroom wringer.
