Divorce is a difficult situation for both the husband and wife and if it takes place when the couple is having children the situation might get worse. It is all about the trauma the children face when the divorce of their parents is inevitable. That is why; in divorce mediation special care is taken when the divorce also involves the custody of the children.

During a divorce, what hurts children most is witnessing conflict and hostility between their parents. Children of divorcing parents often feel insecure and afraid. And sometimes they firmly believe that they are to blame for their parents' dissension and divorce. These issues can have a long-term impact on children and therefore in divorce mediation all these aspects are specially taken care of by the mediator. Mediation helps the parents take the divorce with mutual agreement and avoids any heated arguments and discussions over issues. This is when thy can decide on the custody of the children with the help of the mediator. Children may feel a little better if they see their parents working with mutual consent and can heal knowing that their parents are working together to make adult decisions and will not put them in the middle. This feeling of security helps the children to handle the trauma of the separation in a better way
