At Resolve It, we can help you find a way through painful relationship disputes. Our dispute resolution professionals work throughout Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough.
Love relationships can turn into intense relationship disputes. As a result, those who once were partners experience feelings of anger, betrayal, mistrust, hurt.
Going through the adversarial court system to reach a resolution to relationship disputes can be costly – emotionally, financially and time-wise.
As an example, a recent news article highlights an instance of a four-year court battle consuming the family wealth. But mediation can be much more efficient, furthermore, it often helps to retain goodwill between parties. An ongoing constructive relationship with your ex is vital, particularly where the separation involves children.
The Process of Mediation in Relationship Disputes:
Firstly, our approach is to meet with parties separately. This stage allows us to understand what has occurred and what parties want to achieve. Most importantly, this step helps to separate the person from the problem. As a result, we can work on finding a constructive way forward.
Parties often focus on their own feelings of anguish, causing them to lose sight of what they ultimately want. This is usually a cordial respectful relationship, shared custody and what is fair. We can help you navigate this path.
After the initial separate meetings, we move towards a joint session. At this stage, we focus on understanding and appreciation of each other’s perspectives. Together we mutually explore options and, finally, find a way forward, overcoming the relationship dispute.
If you are finding it difficult to navigate a relationship dispute we can help, whether you’re based in Nelson, Tasman or Marlborough.
