Divorce Mediation According to the New Partnership Method
Separating in a Way That Allows You to Keep Living Well
Divorce is one of the most destabilizing moments in a family’s life.
It is not only a relationship decision. It involves children, home, finances, identity, extended family, and the question of what life will look like from now on.
When a couple decides to separate, they stand at a crossroads.
It is possible to drift into a prolonged conflict that deepens the rupture. It is also possible to pause, look forward, and build a structured process that creates a stable transition.
At Nishri Mediators, we work according to the New Partnership method, a future-focused approach with a clear objective:
not only to end a marriage, but to build a new family structure that functions well after the separation.
The Core Principle: Do Not Recreate the Past. Build the Future.
When couples are in conflict, conversations about what happened tend to intensify the crisis.
Replaying past arguments brings the body and emotions back to the same charged place. Pain, anger, and fear resurface. Distance increases.
The New Partnership method does not manage mediation through the past.
We do not look for blame.
We do not determine who was right.
We do not reconstruct the last fight.
Instead, we ask different questions:
How do you want your children to remember this period
What should their week look like between two homes
What financial structure will allow each of you to function independently
What mechanisms will prevent repeated conflict
What needs to be clear today so you are not back in crisis two years from now
The less the past is reactivated, the greater the ability to build a clear future.
Divorce mediation is not a place to win an old argument.
It is a place to design a new reality.
What Is Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is a structured process in which both spouses sit together with a neutral mediator and develop agreements on all matters required for an orderly separation.
The process typically addresses:
Parenting schedules and parental responsibility
Decision-making regarding education and health
Child support or expense sharing frameworks
Division of property, assets, and savings
Housing and mortgage arrangements
Future mechanisms and adjustment clauses
At the conclusion of the process, a clear and comprehensive divorce agreement is drafted. It can then be formally approved by the relevant court or legal authority to obtain binding legal status.
The fundamental difference is this:
The agreement is not imposed on you.
It is built by you.
Parenting After Divorce
Even when the relationship ends, parenting continues.
In many ways, it becomes even more important.
Divorce mediation under the New Partnership method places strong emphasis on building functional co-parenting after separation.
Not just a technical schedule, but a structured system of shared responsibility.
Together, you define:
A clear weekly structure
Communication rules between parents
Decision-making mechanisms
Agreements regarding holidays and transitions
Transparent and stable financial arrangements
The goal is for children to experience two stable parents, even if they now live in two separate homes.
Divorce Mediation in International Families
In today’s global reality, many couples live or work in different countries.
Children may hold dual citizenship.
Assets may exist across multiple jurisdictions.
Nishri Mediators operates as an international mediation firm, supporting families in Israel, Europe, North America, and other global communities.
Mediation can take place in person or online, with adjustments for time zones, languages, and different legal systems.
The structure remains clear, even when the circumstances are complex.
How the Process Works in Practice
In most cases, the process includes:
An initial consultation explaining the framework
Defining a desired future structure
Mapping all issues requiring resolution
Exploring alternative solutions
Building mutual agreements
Drafting a clear and precise legal document
Formal approval where required
The length of the process depends on the complexity of the case and the communication between the parties. In most situations, it is significantly shorter and more focused than a full legal proceeding.
The guiding principle remains constant:
Not who is at fault, but what is required to create stability.
Who Divorce Mediation Is For
Couples who have already decided to separate and want to do so in a structured way
Couples who are uncertain and want clarity before making a final decision
Parents who understand that children need stability
Spouses who want to preserve dignity and mutual respect
International families who need a clear professional framework
Mediation does not require a perfect relationship.
It requires a willingness to sit together and build.
