Dr. Howard H. Irving draws on three decades and more than 2,000 mediated cases to present mediation as an alternative to adversarial divorce. The focus is on reducing conflict and keeping children central as parents negotiate separation.

The book follows a three-part structure: the hazards of court-based litigation, the advantages and process of mediation, and hands-on guidance for parents creating child-centered shared parenting plans. Material is presented with cases, charts and diagrams for clarity.

Readable and practical, the text walks parents through concrete steps to draft a parenting plan that addresses children’s needs while recognizing each family’s unique circumstances.
