What is divorce mediation?
Divorce Mediation is an agreement reaching process in which a specially trained mediator will help you and your partner to mutually identify and resolve all issues related to your separation and divorce, including:
-Division of marital property and debt
-Child support and spousal support
-Custody, parenting time, and decision-making for your children.
Until recently, all matters concerning separation and divorce were handled by separate attorneys for each spouse, in preparation for litigation.
But now, with the assistance of your mediator, you and your spouse will become decision-making partners, rather than opposing parties in the court room.
After all issues have been resolved, your New York Divorce Mediation attorney-mediator will draft your decisions into a Separation Agreement. Once properly signed, this document will become a legally binding contract which may be filed in court as the basis for an uncontested divorce. |
