| Abstract: | This paper provides a preliminary typology of divorcing couples in order to help predict which couples will benefit from divorce mediation. The typology focuses on the couple dynamics during the divorce process. It suggests seven different types of divorcing couples, based on differences in five dimensions: their commitment to divorce, prior litigation, relationship at the time, ability to communicate, and commitment to their children's well-being. A picture of each type of couple is drawn and the couple's ability to benefit from mediation discussed. The typology is aimed mainly at judges, lawyers, and persons in the helping professions who may refer divorcing couples to mediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
