Divorce Mediation Training for Professionals During the last decade, divorce mediation has emerged as an alternative to the traditional legal system. As a result, there is a continuing need for approved, professionally trained neutral third parties to assist divorcing couples in identifying, negotiating and resolving the issues that arise from the decision to divorce. This intense five day (42 hour) course covers all aspects of the divorce process. With the changes in child support, parenting, financial issues in the family system and diversity of cultures in the world this course provides a wealth of information.
