Team mediation involves having two mediators to work with the couple. Al Frankel has been co-mediating with Jill Sanders-DeMott for thirty years with much success. Al is a therapist/mediator and Jill is an attorney/mediator. Together they bring their professional backgrounds and experience to the table but are both acting strictly as divorce mediators. In addition to the combination of their professional backgrounds, having a male-female professional team provides gender balance which is very important in this process. It is sometimes said that “two heads are better than one”, but in this situation perhaps it should say “four heads are better than two!”  as both the mediators and the couple are all active participants in the process.
