Mediation
Going through divorce may be the most challenging time of your life, but we know that it is possible to navigate with minimal collateral damage and shift your family structure in a cordial, healthy way.
Mediation is a rapidly growing field that is changing the face of the divorce and custody process for transitioning couples and families. In a traditional litigation process, the road to change is a lengthy and complicated framework where all life-changing decisions are outsourced to a court judge. Mediation gently fast tracks you through the process aiding you to make the decisions together outside of the traditional court system. Successful mediation facilitates quicker healing and more successful co-parenting as well as having significantly less financial impact.
The mediation team at The Center for Change at Kennett Square helps you move through this process with a group of professionals that work together to help minimize the impact of this life-altering transition.

Philosophy on mediation
After handling hundreds of divorces, including property disputes, spousal support, and custody battles, I have seen the emotional and financial strain that traditional divorce proceedings can inflict on families. Conversely, because mediation happens outside the court system, it affords clients more control, quicker resolution, and significant cost-savings.
Jane is a firm believer in mediation as a tool to help families heal more quickly, co-parent more successfully and save significant financial resources — further reducing the stress of divorce. It is always gratifying to see families emerge stronger, healthier, and better positioned to begin their next chapter on a more positive footing as a result of mediation.
