What families in Aswan say about our mediation process

I was worried people at work would find out I was divorcing, but every meeting was private and nothing leaked. They explained each step in plain language before we signed anything, which helped since I'd never dealt with a lawyer before.

My wife and I had been separated for a year and couldn't agree on the shop we own together. The mediator helped us split responsibilities without dragging it to court. Took about six weeks and cost far less than I expected going in.

What stood out was how they handled the child custody schedule. We went back and forth on weekends and holidays, and the lawyer proposed a calendar template that both of us actually agreed to keep using after the divorce was finalized.

I contacted them after a rough first meeting with another firm that felt cold. Here, someone actually listened before jumping to paperwork. The whole mediation ran about three months, longer than I hoped, but every session had a clear purpose.

Confidentiality was my biggest concern since my family is well known locally. They handled documents carefully and never scheduled meetings at times when I might run into people I knew. That thoughtfulness made a difficult year easier to get through.
