4. Post-Separation Mediation

Family circumstances often change after separation or divorce. Parenting schedules, employment, income, children’s needs and living arrangements may evolve, making it necessary to review or adjust previously agreed arrangements.

Post-separation mediation provides former spouses or co-parents with an opportunity to resolve new disagreements without immediately returning to court. Stephen Rosenfield helps parties discuss changing parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, shared expenses, communication difficulties and other matters that may arise after separation.

Mediation can be particularly useful when parents need to adapt arrangements as children grow older, change schools, develop additional support needs or become involved in new activities. It can also assist when employment changes, retirement or other financial circumstances affect existing support arrangements.

Post-separation mediation may be available on a limited-scope basis when only one or two issues require attention. Any proposed changes to existing agreements or court orders should be reviewed with independent legal counsel and properly documented before they are relied upon.

Our goal is to help families adapt to changing circumstances while minimizing conflict, controlling costs and maintaining workable relationships.
