What Is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a non-adversarial process where parents work with a neutral professional to resolve issues such as:

• Parenting plans and time-sharing

• Communication and co-parenting expectations

• Emotional transitions for children

• Conflict reduction and problem-solving

• Post-divorce stability

Unlike litigation, mediation focuses on collaboration instead of combat, allowing families to make decisions together — not have them imposed by a judge.

Collaborative Divorce: Mediation with a Professional Team

For families needing additional structure and professional support, we offer Collaborative Divorce services.

Collaborative Divorce includes a team approach that may involve:

• Two collaboratively trained attorneys (one for each spouse)

• A Mental Health Neutral (family therapist guiding communication and parenting decisions)

• A Financial Neutral (budgeting and asset clarity)

The shared goal: resolution without court, while protecting children and long-term co-parenting relationships.

The Role of the Mental Health Neutral

Dr. Ernest W. Reilly, LCSW serves as a Mental Health Neutral in Collaborative Divorce cases — a specialized role focused on emotional safety and family dynamics (not therapy).

As Mental Health Neutral, Dr. Reilly helps with:

• Facilitating emotionally safe conversations

• Supporting child-focused parenting plans

• Reducing conflict and escalation

• Addressing loyalty binds and child stress

• Helping parents transition into cooperative co-parenting

This role is especially helpful in high-conflict divorces, where communication breakdowns put children at risk.
