Finding A Path Forward Through Mediation

Mediation is one of the most popular ways to handle a divorce in New Jersey, but you will not get far without a skilled mediator. These professionals are responsible for overseeing the entire meditation process, and they must bring a range of important skills to the table. But what exactly are these skills?

What should you look for in a divorce mediator as you search for the best person to handle your family breakup? At Giro & Associates LLC, we offer our clients the qualities they deserve from their lawyer. Just a few of these qualities include:

Listening To Your Needs

The best mediators have strong listening skills. These professionals are content with sitting back and letting others talk. More importantly, they can put their own thoughts on pause and genuinely listen to others speak. While this might seem like a simple skill, it is actually something a lot of people struggle with.

Listening is important in the mediation process because each spouse must have a chance to voice their concerns. If spouses do not believe anyone is listening to them, they will simply get up and walk away from the negotiation table. Mediators must take spouses’ concerns into account in order to build inclusive action plans that actually address issues with the divorce.

Impartiality In Our Work

Perhaps the most important skill of all for mediators is impartiality. Even on a subconscious level, people have a tendency to take sides. Some mediators might not even be aware that they are shifting their focus toward one spouse’s needs while ignoring the other. The best mediators are able to look inward and become aware of these biases. After accepting these natural biases, they can work to approach the mediation process in a more balanced, fair, and equitable manner.

One of the downsides of mediation is the fact that neither spouse has someone dedicated to their specific needs. Alternatively, something like collaborative law pairs each spouse with a lawyer who “fights in their corner,” so to speak. This downside is why it is so important for mediators to be impartial and unbiased. If one spouse thinks they are being treated unfairly, they will simply get up and walk away from the negotiation table.

Swift And Effective Conflict Resolution

Last but not least, skilled mediators must have the ability to resolve conflicts. Generally speaking, most spouses who choose mediation pursue relatively amicable divorces. But even the most amicable spouses can encounter serious, often unexpected impasses. Without a mediator who can resolve these disputes effectively, your mediation will not get very far.
