For Unmarried Partners, Mediation May Be the Answer During a Breakup When unmarried partners determine their relationship is no longer working and decide it’s time to split, it might not be a simple breakup. This is particularly true for relationships that last several years. For unmarried couples, legal issues can potentially arise during the split that must be handled delicately and through legal channels. There are instances where the split is far more complicated than packing up a box of things and leaving. When legal issues need to be resolved in these types of situations, family mediation may be the best option. Why family mediation? Unmarried partners do not have the same legal protections as married couples. They may run into challenges as they make decisions regarding property division, child support, and child custody. In these instances, a collaborative setting through mediation can make more sense than litigation. Mediation is based on the idea of helping separating couples arrive at an amicable resolution. When the couple has a neutral party — the mediator — guiding them through open discussions, they can get down to what really matters. It can be easier to determine what each person wants to walk away with. Working through these types of separations, which can take an emotional toll much like a divorce, does not have to be adversarial or expensive. In contrast to litigation, mediation helps resolve disputes expeditiously and economically. These two features alone can reduce stress on both parties, resulting in lower tension and more positive results. If you have a serious family matter that needs to be resolved, mediation may be the answer.
