Mr. Chastain strongly believes that it is impossible to effectively relate to someone unless you have personal experience with the problem that they are facing. Mr. Chastain has experience as a mediator. He has also personally participated as a party in a domestic mediation; his participation, just like yours, was ordered by the court, as it stemmed from a divorce involving minor children. What this means for you is that he can sympathize and identify with your circumstances. More importantly, Mr. Chastain understands that there is life after divorce. This understanding as it relates to divorce taught him the importance of focusing on your future rather than dwelling on your past. Having the personal real-life understanding of going through a divorce that involves children makes Mr. Chastain a valuable asset to all parties.
