In this pioneering episode of The Smart Divorce, host Deborah Moskovich reconnects with forward-thinking attorney and mediator Mark Baer to explore one of the most misunderstood aspects of separation: mediation models. This episode marks a milestone in divorce education, offering a compelling, nuanced, and truly transformative perspective on how mediation can empower rather than divide. As a predecessor to the Soft Landing Podcast, this conversation lays the groundwork for a more humane, equitable, and sustainable approach to family transition.
Unlike traditional discussions, this episode delves into the differences between evaluative, directive, and facilitative mediation, shedding light on how each model shapes outcomes and emotional impacts. With clarity and passion, Mark exposes how āone-size-fits-allā child support models often overlook real family needsāand offers powerful alternatives grounded in empathy, long-term thinking, and equity.
This episode is a wake-up call for divorcing couples, lawyers, and mediators alikeāoffering not just education, but inspiration for doing divorce differently. It's not just a podcast; it's a catalyst for change.
