What is divorce mediation?
Divorce is a complex and challenging process that requires a lot of mental and physical strength. This process can be even more difficult if it is accompanied by conflicts between the spouses, especially if they have children together.
Divorce mediation is an alternative procedure to a divorce trial. As part of mediation, the couple turns to a mediator, who is a professional, independent person with experience in the field of divorce. The mediator helps the couple reach agreements on issues related to the divorce, such as:
Custody of children
stay times
foods
The division of property
The shared house
Distribution of social rights
Children’s education and health issues
and other issues required for the preparation of a divorce agreement

Divorce mediation using the "new partnership" method
Divorce mediation using the “new partnership” method is a unique approach to divorce mediation, developed by mediator Nadav Nishri. The method is based on the assumption that even after the divorce, the spouses remain partners in the responsibility of parenting the shared children.
As part of the method, the mediator helps the couple develop a new model of partnership, based on mutual respect, open communication and cooperation. This model allows the couple to continue to provide the children with a stable and proper family environment.
Divorce mediation process using a new partnership method
Mediation begins with an introductory meeting, where the mediator gives the couple a comprehensive explanation of the process and works to gain their trust. After the introductory meeting you can immediately start mediation or go home and think.
After the couple decides to start the process, they sign an agreement to open a divorce mediation procedure that regulates the relationship between the mediator and the couple and imposes confidentiality on the process. After the signing of the agreement, the process officially begins.
At the beginning of the process, each spouse tells how he sees things. During the conversation, the mediator helps each partner to start looking at the future and define personal goals for himself and shared goals for him and the other parent for the future.
After the first meeting, the mediator starts conducting personal meetings with each of the spouses. In these meetings, the mediator helps the couple understand their needs and desires, and develop more complex positions regarding the issues related to the divorce.
After the individual meetings, the mediator starts holding joint meetings with the couple. In these meetings, the mediator helps the couple develop open and effective communication, and reach agreements on issues related to the divorce.
After the couple reaches an agreement on all the issues at hand, the mediator prepares for them a divorce agreement or a peace settlement agreement or, alternatively, a divorce that regulates their future relationship and ends all disputes between them.
