family mediation
The closer and longer the relationship, the more challenging communication about sensitive and important issues can be. Furthermore, within families it is often desirable for the conflict to be resolved in such a way that the interpersonal relationships remain functional and both (all) sides can meet and cooperate in the future. Mediation can help in many family situations:
BEFORE DIVORCE, DURING DIVORCE, AFTER DIVORCE
A mediator can help you focus on the matters that are essential for your future and that of your children, and steer you away from developing or deepening hostility. The future form of your relationship is of the utmost importance for the psychological and emotional development of your children. Mediation especially concerns:
- care for your children, how your children will be raised, how each parent will be involved in meeting their needs
- the division of shared property
- living arrangements
- alimony
INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
- multi-generational cohabitation
- guidelines for parents and teenagers to live peacefully under the same roof
PROPERTY ISSUES
- inheritance
- property co-ownership
- family businesses
- premarital agreements
- the management of children’s property
- inter-family loans and obligations
CLARIFICATION OF EXISTING AND FUTURE FAMILY COHABITATION
- where to live
- budgeting
- what belongs and will belong to whom
- how many children to have, and how to raise them
- the care for a sick family member
- the care of parents and grandparents
- the care of children
„Communication is to personal health, satisfactory interpersonal relationships and productivity as breathing is to life.“
