Divorce is a painful and challenging process for everyone, but it can be
particularly challenging for celebrities who live in the public eye. High-profile
divorces are often rife with drama, gossip, and public scrutiny, which
can make the process even more difficult to navigate.
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are a popular celebrity couple who have been
together for several years. They are both cast members on the reality
TV show “Vanderpump Rules,” which documents their lives and
relationships. Recently, rumors have been swirling that the couple is
considering a divorce. If this is true, mediation could be a very useful
tool for them to navigate the process in a more amicable and less contentious way.
As a divorce attorney, mediator, and medical professional for more than
35 years, I have helped many celebrities discreetly navigate the intricacies
of divorce using my unique and highly successful divorce process.
Mediation is a powerful method where a neutral third party facilitates
a discussion between two parties in conflict to help them reach an agreement.
Mediation can be a useful tool for celebrities going through a divorce
as it can help them resolve their disputes in a less adversarial, more
collaborative and more judicious way.
Here are some specific ways that mediation could help Tom and Ariana, or
any other celebrity couple, in the divorce process:
Creating a Collaborative Environment
Mediation is a collaborative process that focuses on finding mutually beneficial
solutions for both parties. This is in contrast to a traditional divorce,
which can be adversarial and contentious. Mediation can help Tom and Ariana
work together to create a plan that addresses their individual needs and
interests. This can lead to a more harmonious and positive outcome, even
if the couple ultimately decides to separate.
Managing Emotions
Divorce can be an emotionally charged experience, and this can be amplified
for celebrities who have to deal with public scrutiny and gossip. Mediation
provides a safe and neutral space for the couple to express their feelings
and work through any disagreements. In my role as a mediator, I often
help couples manage their emotions and ensure that the discussions remain
productive and respectful. This can help prevent the divorce from becoming
overly contentious and damaging.
Efficient and Cost-Effective
Mediation can also be a more efficient and cost-effective way to handle
a divorce. Litigation can be expensive, and it can take many years to
resolve. Mediation, on the other hand, can be completed in a matter of
weeks, saving the couple time and money. This can be particularly beneficial
for Tom and Ariana, who have busy schedules and may not want to drag out
the process for an extended period of time. This can save celebrities
a lot of time and money, as well as reduce the emotional strain of a long
and drawn-out legal battle.
Creating a Customized Agreement
Mediation allows the couple to create a customized agreement that works
for their unique situation. This is in contrast to a traditional divorce,
where a judge may make decisions based on standard legal guidelines. Tom
and Ariana can work together to create a plan that addresses their specific
needs and concerns. This can help ensure that both parties are satisfied
with the outcome and that the divorce is as amicable as possible.
Control
Another advantage of mediation is that it gives the parties involved more
control over the outcome. Rather than having a judge make decisions about
how their assets will be divided or how other aspects will be handled,
the parties can work together to create their own solutions. This can
lead to more creative and personalized agreements that better suits the
needs of everyone involved.
Better Communication
Mediation is all about communication. It requires the parties to listen
to each other, express their own needs and interests, and work together
to find a solution that meets everyone's needs.
Divorce is a painful and challenging process for everyone, but it can be
particularly challenging for celebrities who live in the public eye. High-profile
divorces are often rife with drama, gossip, and public scrutiny, which
can make the process even more difficult to navigate.Focusing on the Future Finally
Focus on the Future Finally
Mediation can help Tom and Ariana focus on the future rather than dwelling
on the past. The couple can work together to create a plan for moving
forward, whether that means separating or staying together. Mediation
can help them maintain a positive relationship, which can be important
if they continue to work together on “Vanderpump Rules” or
other media projects in the future.
Confidentiality
One of the biggest challenges for celebrities going through a divorce is
the intense media scrutiny that comes with it. With mediation, however,
the process is entirely confidential. This means that any discussions
or negotiations that take place during the mediation cannot be made public.
This can help protect the privacy of the parties involved and keep sensitive
information out of the media.
Mediation can be a useful tool for celebrity couples like Tom Sandoval
and Ariana Madix who are currently considering a divorce. If Tom and Ariana
do decide to divorce, mediation could be a positive and constructive way
for them to navigate the process in a way that minimizes conflict and
promotes mutual understanding.
I’m hoping they will consider it!

There is no easy path to divorce whether you are a celebrity or an everyday
couple. But mediation is an extraordinary process that allows for civility
and peaceful decision-making that is powerful and highly respected.
As a skilled medical professional, divorce attorney and mediator, I have
happily guided thousands towards this unique and effective process.
