PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION MEDIATION
WORKS FOR PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION
Mediation is an ideal forum, as well as an alternative forum, for addressing
the needs of unmarried couples, including gay and lesbian couples, who
are working through a separation of their relationship and acquired property.
Mediation can help resolve issues for those who have lived together or
bought property together, parented a child together, and/or formed a business
together while being involved in an emotional and personal relationship
with one another.
While the law provides guidance and support to married families, it often
does not address or pertain to unmarried couples. Such couples are often
lost in not only a painful situation but also a particularly vulnerable
situation, financially. In mediation, parties are able to choose standards,
including borrowed legal standards, to guide them in property division
where such standards may not otherwise exist. Mediation assists them with
separating their relationship with integrity and with compassion into
workable decisions and agreements. The mediator can also prepare or assist
with preparation of written agreements, which can be legally binding if
chosen.
