Libertyville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/21/2011 -- Many men and women coping with with an impending divorce worry about facing all out war and financial devastation in divorce court.

Thankfully, for couples in the Chicago, IL area, there is now another option available: mediation with a website called YourDivorce.org.

Currently 40-50 percent of divorces will end in divorce. There is without question a real need to help couples through the steps of ending their marriage and making the crucial decisions that permit them to move on.

YourDivorce.org, the web site for CEL and Associates, is a full service mediation firm, headquartered in Libertyville, Illinois, that offers you divorce mediation, marital mediation, divorce coaching, and divorce therapy services.

CEL and Associates helps couples divorce more peacefully and less expensively then with the traditional divorce process. Through divorce mediation, couples can work out the specifics of the divorce agreement together, rather than fighting it out in court. This helps them plan out the finances, division of assets, child custody and visitation, and other key issues.

CEL and Associates President Brian James says, “"When individuals are working through a divorce we see the pain they go through. One of most effective ways YourDivorce.org helps struggling couples comes from helping them work together to create solutions that work for both of them. In most situations these are couples who work with us come out feeling more peace and personal strength to move on with their lives."

In addition to helping them collaborate on a divorce agreement and parenting plan, YourDivorce.org offers divorce coaching to help individuals navigate the divorce process, and reduce their emotional tension and anxiety. A divorce coach helps divorcing men and women to set new goals, make decisions, and set up strategies to transition into a new life as a single.

Additionally, men and women who need therapy can work with our divorce therapists to resolve the emotional issues surrounding the separation of a couple through divorce. While mediation handles the logistical issues, therapy works on healing the heart and communication with a soon to be ex-spouse.

CEL and Associates offers these services through the YourDivorce.org website. On the site individuals can discover out more about the CEL and Associates service offerings and the staff that includes Brian James, Ned Meisner, Ellen Feldman, Rae Rich, and Anne Browning.
