    Role of Mediation in High-Conflict Divorce and Custody Explained

    Role of Mediation in High-Conflict Divorce and Custody Explained

    I am Scott Levin, a seasoned peacekeeping attorney, and I am joined by the Brook Olsen who is a high conflict divorce coach who shares my belief that a collaborative path to resolution is generally much better for a divorce, whether it involves narcissism or any other personality challenges.

    We discuss the skepticism surrounding mediation in such fraught circumstances.  And we get into how strategic coaching and a genuine understanding of each partner's journey can transform seemingly impossible disputes into agreements that honor the interests of the whole family. 

    We also contrast mediation with the  harsh realities of litigation's impact on children and parents, and stress the imperative of prioritizing kids' well-being to achieve a collaborative co-parenting dynamic.

    Learn more about Brook Olsen by clicking here and feel free to reach out to Scott Levin if a California high conflict divorce mediation attorney could help.
