Smack in the middle of a prolonged and painful divorce process, which included a trial, I enrolled in a MA program in Mediation and Conflict Resolution. There I am in the middle of trial learning about negotiation techniques.
On top of the degree I have had opportunity to get certified in specific areas. Last semester it was small claims court mediation.
Best yet.....DRUM ROLL.....
Today I completed the certification program in Divorce Mediation! 
Getting divorced from the dimwit has set me on a new career path.
There is a wonderful life on the other side of hell.

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.

That is awesome, and I did something very similar! I've thought about specializing in mediation too, but under up in legal research and writing.
