From the Archives: Mediation, Divorce and Marriage with Attorney Xavier Prather

Send us Fan Mail Most people think divorce “has to” look like a court fight, but that assumption can quietly drain your time, money, and emotional bandwidth. Jacki Roessler sits down with Michigan family law attorney and domestic relations mediator Xavier Prather to break down what divorce mediation actually is, how it differs from traditional litigation, and why the best outcomes often come from better communication rather than better arguments. We get practical about the two major mediation styles listeners will run into, facilitative mediation versus evaluative mediation, as well as which couples are best suited for mediation.  Then the conversation takes a fascinating turn: Xavier shares how winning Big Brother sharpened skills that matter in mediation, reading people, staying calm, and reframing emotional statements into something the other side can receive.
