Why Mediation?

New York Divorce Mediation is the Win/Win Solution

New York Mediated Family Conflict

New York divorce mediation has become a viable alternative to divorce litigation.  Many couples who seek a separation or divorce, or need to resolve issues of child custody or child support, decide to use a mediator to facilitate a resolution of their issues rather than abdicate that role to attorneys. This process allows the couple to communicate with each other in a confidential and productive way, create their own solutions or settlements, and avoid the incredible legal costs involved in retaining attorneys.

Impartial, Confidential, Cost Effective

New York divorce mediation provides one goal for couples seeking to address family or matrimonial issues: to offer couples a fully confidential, effective, and cost efficient alternative to the traditional legal process.

A mediator can address family disputes that occur at any time.  Our mediation practice is not limited to clients who seek a New York divorce.  We also mediate interim agreements, disputes that arise before or after divorce becomes an option, child custody and child support issues, and post divorce family issues,

An experienced New York mediator can help a couple reach their own agreement on the key family issues, including the issues that must be addressed before a New York divorce court will grant a divorce and issues that arise after a New York divorce or out of state divorce is raised. Among these issues are child custody and living arrangements for minor children, child support for children, spousal maintenance, the division of martial assets and property, joint custody arrangements, scheduling conflicts, and more.

At the conclusion of New York Divorce Mediation, your mediator provides a Memorandum of Agreement that recites the terms of your agreement in lay language. This Memorandum is not a legal document. It must be drafted into a binding legal agreement by an attorney and that Agreement must be signed by both parties.  This process allows a couple to address their family issues in a secure and non-threatening setting, while still ensuring that each parties’ legal rights will be protected prior to the finalization of any documents.

When all is said and done, the overwhelming positive benefit of divorce mediation is that it allows couples to avoid the bewildering escalation of marital conflict within the traditional divorce process and retain control over their own futures.
