Haskamot = Agreements: Resolving Disputes with Respect

Mediation is a method for resolving disputes.

Mediation is also a method for helping divorcing families to work out an amicable divorce agreement so that they can avoid expensive and unpleasant court litigation. Divorcing couples meet together with a neutral and objective mediator who helps them define the issues in dispute and resolve them in a cooperative way through discussion and negotiation. The mediator makes sure everyone is heard as the various issues and possible solutions are explored. The mediator helps parents understand the needs of children so they will make decisions in their best interests. The couple makes the final decisions regarding care of the children, division of property and financial arrangements.

Dr. Susan Zaidel is an experienced clinical psychologist and family therapist who has been mediating divorces since 1986. She also mediates family disputes about inheritance, family business and other family conflict. Her main office is in Haifa and she also receives clients in Tel Aviv.
