Restorative Divorce/Mediation

Restorative Divorce

The Burnham Law Firm, PLLC is proud to acknowledge its involvement with the “restorative divorce” process (www.restorativedivorce.com).  Restorative Divorce is a unique and powerful process designed to promote healthy communication, understanding, and trust. It works because it interrupts patterns of dysfunction (blame, resentment, lack of responsibility, etc.), and requires that each party look at the harm they are causing and take responsibility for it. This may seem like a tall order, and it often is, but the  process makes it possible.

Utilizing a combination of principles and exercises inspired by restorative justice, nonviolent communication and peacemaking, Restorative Divorce gets to the underlying issues and blockages. You are given cutting-edge tools you can employ immediately and use for the rest of your life, tools that help you take full responsibility for your own life. The guides work from the assumption that once we assume responsibility for what we want, feel and do, we can move beyond blame, resentment and feeling like a victim. From this place of personal power, we can engage life as strong adults and enter into healthy communication and relationship with others.  Restorative Divorce is a powerful process and I highly recommend it in conjunction with Mediation.

Mediation

Mediation is another way to resolve your divorce in a much less adversarial way, and one which stays out of the courthouse.  This is a cost-effective way to seek similar results…provided that both parties are committed to seeking a resolution.
