Celebrity Divorce and Mediation: Winning!

Let's face it. Life as a celebrity couple can be stressful. Often, fame will take its toll on a couple, and the marriage will end. But a dissolution doesn't have to be messy, even in Hollywood.

Katy Perry and Russel Brand are getting a divorce amicably, through mediation. Vicky Gunvalson, one of the Real Housewives of Orange County, is exploring a separation from her husband Don through mediation. Camille Grammer and Kelsey Grammer are using a mediator to navigate their ongoing custody dispute. With the possible exception of the last couple, these negotiations are proceeding smoothly, and perhaps most annoyingly for US Weekly readers, without heightened animosity or drama. Perry, Brand, and Gunvalson speak of their former spouses with respect and with a sincere regard for their well-being and privacy. What a notable change from the train-wreck celebrity divorces we're all grown accustomed to watching with morbid fascination!

Even in high-profile divorces, mediation makes a collaborative, respectful marital settlement agreement possible. Imagine what it could do for couples who aren't targeted by the paparazzi?!
