Michael Cohen on Creating Better Outcomes Through Divorce Mediation


Listen Later

When divorce looms, people usually focus on the assets and finances first. But to divorce mediator Michael Cohen, the kids should always come first.

Michael's own contentious divorce fueled his metamorphosis from corporate executive to passionate divorce mediator. As a mediator, Michael helps parents create co-parenting agreements centered on their kids' emotional health. 

In this podcast episode, we dig deeply into the way that the adversarial process fundamentally clashes with preserving family bonds. Litigation pits spouses against each other with dueling attorneys battling over assets. Mediation offers a paradigm shift - bringing both parties together with a neutral facilitator to find mutually agreeable resolutions to their divorce issues.

If you’re interested in mediating your divorce you’ll discover a wealth of practical information in this episode, including:

1.     The average cost of mediation versus litigation;

2.     The opportunities afforded by digital mediation;

3.     The way that mediation can preserve family connections, even in a divorce;

… and more.

 If you’re even thinking about using mediation in your divorce, this podcast episode will provide you with a wealth of information and practical tips.

About Michael

Michael is a former corporate executive who went through a litigated divorce and vowed to transition his career to divorce mediation as a result. He saw firsthand the impact of a litigated divorce on his own children, and he vowed to help other families get through a divorce in a more amicable way, with good co-parents, so the family could remain connected as a family, just in a different way. Michael has his CPA and is very adept at helping couples with the financial decisions they need to make during and after their divorce, but his passion is working with parents and helping them to divorce while building a strong co-parent relationship. Michael cares, is passionate about helping others, understands what they are going through, and is driven to help them divorce in a healthy way at a significantly lower cost than litigation.
