This breakthrough work provides readers with information about reaching and writing divorce mediation agreements. It is based upon decades of work the author has performed with novice and experienced mediators, and with spouses seeking to end their marriage relationship.

 

All divorces are considered contested until all of the issues that courts require agreement on are resolved. Readers will learn what the author has taught thousands of mediators across the United States, which is how to assist divorcing spouses in reaching agreement on all of these issues, and how to put those agreements in writing.

 

Readers will benefit from the detailed discussion about each of the issues that all divorce courts require be resolved in order to grant an uncontested divorce. Examples of complete, written Memoranda of Understanding are provided for use as templates.
