Divorce Counseling. Marriages may begin to hit a wall of conflict shortly after marriage. Expectations that the wife will be in charge of all the household activities, new roles as mother or father, changing attitudes on love and intimacy that do not meet initial ideals, relations with the extended family, etc., can all lead to conflict leading to divorce. Frequent and heated arguments are common problems are often seen in couples in trouble. These couples usually do not argue fairly with each other and they escalate out of control. This often leads to a vicious cycle of fights, cold-war, make-up, and fight again. These couples do not realize there can be no winner to a spousal fight, only two losers, and they both stubbornly persist in taking a stand.
The key to the therapy is to elucidate the misunderstanding, to see what the personality styles of the partners are in promoting the misunderstanding, and then to foster adaptive relationship mechanisms and to change expectations. Negotiating child custody and visitation issues with one's spouse can become extremely painful in international marriages. The Meguro Counseling Center has provided fully bilingual marriage and divorce counseling and advice on breaking deadlocks for the international and local Japanese community for many years. We also work closely with a bilingual Japanese attorney and lawyer who practices divorce and family law including child custody and protection in Japan.
The Meguro Counseling Center also has many years of experience helping international couples going thru divorce in Japan and can provide advice and strategy related to divorce and custody that is usually not be part of the standard advice package that may be given by legal counsel in Japan. While the Meguro Counseling Center can refer you to a legal service as noted above, appointments with the Meguro Counseling Center are for counseling services only.
