The way you presented and clarify the difference between the two terms is great, Sabra. And I also do agree that a mediator always have lots to offer. Thanks for sharing.

I wish more people would use mediation before getting into a big legal battle over divorce or other relationship mishaps. Sometimes it seems to me emotionally immature to fight so badly with the one you once claimed to love more than any one else. Thanks for this educational article.

Thanks for such a good clarification between the two terms. I know a few mediators and think it’s an important profession in this crazy world.

Yes, I know what a mediator is. One of my best friends is a Mediator. Didn’t know that be get mediator and arbitrator confused or use them interchangeably tho. I’ll be careful.

Thanks for this informative article. I do know about mediation, but only because I worked in social services for a long time and it was an integral part of family law practice here. It’s a valuable process and it’s unfortunate that more people don’t choose mediation instead of litigation.

Sarah, what a great article on the subject of mediation v. arbitration. I agree as a few of my family members have gone through mediation for their divorces. It is vital they know the difference. I only wish marriages did not have to even come that close, especially for the sake of the children. Therefore, I’d love to collaborate with you in Growing Healthy Families.

Hi Sabra

Thanks for the distinctions – when you get teams out of flow then it is so much more likely that misunderstandings and a lack of alignment could result in disputes and even legal action.

As the old phone advert used to say, “It’s good to talk!”

My mother has been a trained mediator and negotiator for over 20 years. She started by working with a Farm board as a mediator between financially struggling farmers and their creditors. She was awesome with them!

I think is it a skill that is needed and should be promoted more for sure.
