ACRIMONY IN A DIVORCE - By: Corwin Smith

Frequently, once a decision has been made to divorce, the common and unfortunate progression is for the communication between the parties to quickly become contentious and acrimonious. While no two divorces are any more alike than any two marriages, it is the difficult divorces on which this book will focus.
Divorce Mediation in MA offers people a platform for avoiding some of that acrimony. However, such civil negotiations are based on an assumption that no domestic violence exists in the marriage. When a spouse is in physical danger, the normal channels of sitting down to resolve marital disputes are not available to the parties as the escalation of the dispute could result in a dangerous or possibly life threatening situation. If such a level of acrimony exists, any and all negotiations need to be without personal interaction and with the assistance of trained third parties such as attorneys, court mediators and judges, ideally in a neutral setting such as the courthouse where court officers are also close-by to lend assistance if needed.
With fifty percent of all marriages failing, divorce is undeniably commonplace. At the same time, divorce can be one of the most horrific experiences one may ever encounter. Because of the potential for emotional and financial devastation by way of a litigated divorce, it only makes sense to explore kinder means of resolution and to commit to making the process less painful and less taxing for all involved.
Uncivil divorces commonly consist of bad behavior from start to finish; yelling, interrupting and belittling, for example, all in an attempt to endorse irrational positions. Some promote ill will by using the children to relay messages, to request money or to manipulate the other party. In the worst cases, some will encourage the alienation of a child from the other parent in order to better position themselves for an impending custody battle, seeking financial advantage by way of preferential footholds. Others perpetuate bad faith by manufacturing false claims either in retaliation or to somehow gain the upper hand. And of course many attempt to conceal assets that require disclosure in order for the divorce to be appropriately resolved. Divorce Mediation in MA focuses on open communication, mutual and full disclosure and has an element of fairness which is what people often find attractive in mediation. While acrimony is a corrosive, communication can sooth and assist people in their passage to hopefully a positive platform.
