Lawyers vs Mentors
“Why would I use a Mentor instead of a Lawyer”
Most workplace Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) offer referrals to lawyers and psychologists as their only divorce supports. In fact, a lawyer is the most expensive way to secure a divorce, which only adds to the strain a couple experiences. Psychological help may be important, but it doesn’t make the process of divorcing any faster or easier.
A lawyer will always say they prefer to negotiate a resolution of the issues arising out of a separation, although most lawyers are prepared to go to court when necessary to ensure your rights are respected, this route is expensive and time consuming!
Mediation is proven to save you money. help you avoid a lengthy court battle.
One mentor helps both spouses, whereas you each require your own lawyer if you go the litigation route.

Mentor is a quality conversation between the two conflicted parties with the assistance of a neutral third party. If you can be in the same room as your ex, a mentor can help you solve even your most contentious disagreements.
Divorce mentor is having all those uncomfortable conversations in a comfortable setting. You feel heard, encouraged to speak, and you aren’t worried about your spouse’s reaction because you have someone there to make sure the conversation stays productive. Mediation is a conversation that yields results. By results, we mean a final, mutually agreed-upon settlement. You don’t ever have to have ugly conversations on your own again.
