If your divorce mediation is on pause because your spouse needs time to process the separation, here are steps to ensure a timely return. First, set a firm date to resume mediation after the pause and stick to it. Second, consider whether to help your spouse with housing or budgeting based on your relationship dynamic. Lastly, acknowledge your own emotions and seek support if needed, whether through therapy, a support group, or friends. Use this time to focus on your future and prepare proposals for mediation.
