DIVORCE REALITY CHECK 🚨

I hear it in mediation all the time:

“But they promised they would always take care of me.”

“But they promised I could keep the house.”

“But they promised they would never touch my retirement.”

“But they PROMISED…”

Here’s the hard part: you made promises to each other when you got married, too—including the promise to stay married.

Divorce changes things.

That doesn’t mean those promises weren’t sincere when they were made. It means you shouldn’t build your post-divorce future around an old verbal promise and assume everything will work out the way you once discussed.

If something is important to your financial security or your future, negotiate it, get it clearly written into your divorce agreement, and make sure the final terms are properly incorporated into your divorce decree.

Because at the end of the day…

“But they promised me” is not a divorce plan.

Believe it or not, this couple wasn't really arguing about measuring cups.

They were arguing about feeling unheard, unappreciated, and like they were the one always giving more.

As a mediator, I have the unique opportunity to meet with both spouses, understand what's really driving the conflict, and help move the conversation beyond the surface issue.

Because in divorce, it's rarely about the measuring cups.

It's about the emotions underneath them.

When we can uncover the real issue, it's much easier to find solutions that both people can live with.

Just for laughs.

Occupational hazard: People assume I must hate marriage because I'm a divorce mediator. 😅

The truth is - I don't hate marriage. (I mean, I also won't do it again, but that's another convo)

I think relationships are just hard.

Divorce Mediation (rather than battling through attorneys) has actually shown me that couples can move on and still be friends, great co-parents, or at least civil to each other.

Divorce doesn't have to be a war. Mediation is the better way.

Thinking about divorce can feel overwhelming.

Before you make big decisions, take a step back and get informed.

That's exactly why we created the Pre-Divorce Guide—to help you understand the process, prepare financially, avoid common mistakes, and move forward with confidence.



A little preparation now can save you time, money, and stress later.

The best parenting plans aren't built for the days you agree.

They're built for the days you don't.

Here are the 5 things I believe every parenting plan should include after helping hundreds of families through divorce.

Tell me you're getting a divorce without telling me you're getting a divorce... 👀

You know the couple that hasn't posted a single picture together in three years...

Then suddenly it's:
❤️ "My soulmate."
❤️ "Couldn't do life without you."
❤️ "My forever."

And I quietly think...

"Well... I might be seeing you in mediation soon." 😂

To be fair, I could be wrong...

But after years of helping couples through divorce, I've noticed that an unexpected flood of lovey-dovey social media posts sometimes shows up right before things fall apart.

Maybe it's trying to convince everyone else.
Maybe it's trying to convince themselves.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Either way... I haven't been proven wrong yet. 😅

(Just a lighthearted observation from someone who spends a lot of time in the divorce world.)

Do I Have to See My Spouse During Mediation?

One of the biggest misconceptions about mediation is that you'll be sitting across the table from your spouse the entire time.

At SALT Mediation, that's not how we do things.

We always begin with spouses in separate rooms (or separate virtual meeting rooms). This creates a calmer environment where each person can speak openly and focus on finding solutions—not reacting to the other person.

Only if BOTH spouses request to meet together AND the mediator believes it would be productive do we bring everyone into the same room.

If either person prefers to remain separate, or if we think staying apart will lead to a better outcome, we continue the entire mediation that way.

Our goal isn't to force uncomfortable conversations. Our goal is to help you reach an agreement in the way that's most likely to be successful.
