Celebrity Divorce and Mediation? The Case of Bethenny Frankel

The maker of Skinny Girl Cocktail has split with her recent husband. Bethenny Frankel has separated from Jason Hoppy. Those of you who are fans of her TV Show on Bravo remember the emotional nuptials that took place only a few years back. The romance, leading up to the wedding, followed by the honeymoon was simply wonderful. However, the Daily Mail has posted that Frankel and Hoppy seem to be separated and Frankel is seeking a divorce lawyer. It seems she has reached out to Katy Holmes for advice on a good divorce lawyer.

As I have indicated in my previous posts, divorces executed through a court are becoming rather unpopular. The time and money that accompanies courtroom divorces can be physically, emotionally, and mentally draining. The best option for Frankel and Hoppy (should the divorce occur) should be through mediation. Mediation is simple, less timely, and less costly. Specifically, mediation can be a very useful tool to separate assets (homes, furniture, bank accounts, etc), and time sharing agreements in a peaceful and civilized manner.

Mediation may be used in this divorce case as it is becoming largely popular amongst celebrity divorces.Unfortunately, if the divorce does occur between the couple, mediation will be a very strong option.

Divorces

Now that the economy is showing signs of growth, it seems that divorces are on the rise. Individuals are beginning to hire themselves as a form of representation at the courthouses. Why? Well it provides a sense of self empowerment. It is a great way to also gain knowledge on how the divorce proceedings take place. The largest benefit is the cost savings. It is cheaper to represent yourself in court, then higher a lawyer. The recession has proved that divorces are on the rise as couples feel that financial problems are too much to bare. Therefore, they are will take to part ways by representing themselves in court.

Also, low income couples who cannot afford an attorney and simply do not have the time, find it easier and faster to represent themselves. As long as the divorcing couples determine their separation issues, it becomes easy to represent yourself in court. Furthermore, budget cuts are forcing a few individuals to work overtime, thereby pushing divorces behind a long list of issues.

Couples who seek divorce do not want to spend $1500 to pay an attorney for their legal proceedings. However, mediators are by far more cost effective and work at a faster rate than attorneys. Group WhyNot offers divorce mediation services for half the price. We also offer a free initial consultation and payment plans. Contact us today: groupwhynot@gmail.com

NHL Use of Mediation

During the Thanksgiving holiday, it was reported that mediation was used as a means of conflict resolution between the league officials and players. Mediation was further used as a tool to bring the parties together in order to assist with the establishment of a mutual agreement between the disputing parties. The success of the mediation process for this issue was primarily to avoid another cancelled season of the NHL. Although the parties are still in dispute, and an impasse was declared, mediation will be continued to be used as a tool to settle this case. Further, a good mediator will not enforce parties to make a decision. Rather a mediator's role is to provide the parties to feel a sense of empowerment in order to make a sound decision that will benefit each party. Mediation has become a popular and cost effective tool to help with conflict resolution.

NHL: Mediation with players ends with no deal

By the CNN Wire Staff

updated 7:56 PM EST, Thu November 29, 2012

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• NHL, players' union end two days of talks with mediators
• Mediators determined no progress possible through mediation at the moment, NHL says
• Labor impasse has canceled a third of the NHL's season so far
• The season should have started October 11

(CNN) -- Two days of mediation have failed to end the National Hockey League's lockout of its players, the league and the players' union said Thursday.

Representatives of the NHL and the NHL Players' Association met Wednesday and Thursday with the Washington-based Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, aiming to break a labor impasse that so far has canceled a third of the NHL's season.

The mediators "concluded that the parties remained far apart, and that no progress toward a resolution could be made through further mediation at this point in time," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said.

"We are disappointed that the mediation process was not successful," Daly said in a statement issued to the media Thursday afternoon.

The mediators "indicated that they would stay in contact with the league and the NHLPA, and would call the parties back together when they thought the time was right," the union's executive director, Don Fehr, said Thursday.

The league and the NHL Players' Association have not been able to reach a collective bargaining agreement, prompting a lockout that threatens to wipe out an entire NHL season for the second time in eight years.

The season did not begin as scheduled on October 11, and the league has canceled groups of games as the calendar progressed with no deal. Last week, the league said that the All-Star game and the regular season through December 14 had been called off.
