ChristieLegal Practices Facilitative and Transformative Mediation To Help Clients Reach Agreements in MN Divorce and/or Child Custody and Parenting Time Cases

ChristieLegal starts with transformative mediation practices because the parties are more likely to lead to an agreement that will last longer than the end of the divorce and/or child custody case. The goal of transformative mediation is to help people better understand each other’s thoughts and feelings about the issues in the divorce and/or child custody case. When people better understand each other, they’re more likely to be able to reach an agreement that’s agreeable to both parties. When people reach an agreement that they buy into, instead of it being forced upon them by the court, they will be less likely to want to take each other to court multiple times for child custody issues.

After the people seem to understand each other’s points of view on the issues, ChristieLegal moves to facilitative mediation practices . The goal is to help people reach agreements on the unresolved issues in the divorce and/or child custody case.

ChristieLegal is a MN family law (divorce and/or child custody) paralegal, so she has knowledge of MN divorce and child custody laws. As a result, people can use her as a resource for what MN family laws state while mediating. However, since ChristieLegal is a paralegal, not an attorney, and she is acting as a mediator, she cannot give either party legal advice.

ChristieLegal has been doing this work since February 2013.

There are many benefits to mediating online. First, the parties won’t be in the same room or building, which makes it almost impossible for there to be a physical safety issue and more difficult for there to be an emotional safety issue.
