Why Involve a Neutral Mental Health Professional In Non-Adversarial Divorce?

Divorce is a highly emotional process. Our emotions influence our judgement, behavior, and decisions; decisions not only involving children, but also finances and personal property.

• A neutral mental health professional has education, training and experience in managing emotions, communication, and family dynamics. The mental health neutral helps you in all these areas so you can think clearly about important decisions during a time when your judgment may be clouded.

In addition, each family and their respective parenting needs are different, and the mental health neutral helps parents customize a developmentally appropriate parenting plan.

A mental health neutral also facilitates meetings and keeps the process and parties on track. Having a neutral party address all of these areas provides space for trust and constructive problem-solving.
