Mediation in New York Divorces
A Smarter, Calmer Path to Divorce
We provide confidential mediation services for individuals seeking to resolve family disputes without the time, cost, or acrimony of courtroom litigation. Our neutral, solution-focused approach encourages open communication and empowers both parties to reach fair, lasting agreements.
Mediation offers a path to resolution that reduces emotional strain and promotes mutual respect—especially important when children or complex assets are involved. By avoiding adversarial tactics, couples can navigate separation with greater dignity and cooperation.
These benefits contribute to a more amicable divorce process and a smoother transition into post-divorce life. If you're considering mediation, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our certified mediators to determine if this approach is right for your unique situation.
What Is Divorce Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps divorcing spouses resolve key issues, such as:
Division of property and assets
Child custody and parenting time
Child support and spousal support
Debt allocation
Future communication agreements
Unlike a judge, a mediator does not impose decisions. Instead, they facilitate respectful dialogue to help both parties find common ground and create a fair, lasting agreement.
Why Choose Mediation in New York?
New York courts encourage mediation whenever possible, and for good reason. Mediation offers several advantages:
Mediator's role: The mediator creates a neutral environment, promotes compromise, and helps prepare the divorce settlement.
Efficiency: It is generally faster than traditional divorce processes.
Flexibility: Couples have the flexibility to reach agreements that make sense for their family circumstances.
Cost-effectiveness: It is less expensive than traditional divorce litigation.
Collaboration: It is a collaborative process that reduces contention and stress, potentially easing co-parenting after divorce.
Privacy: The process is private, occurring outside of the courtroom.
Control: Couples have more control over their divorce outcome.
Is Mediation Right for You?
Mediation is ideal for couples who are willing to communicate openly and negotiate in good faith—even if they don’t agree on everything. It’s especially effective for:
Amicable or moderately contested divorces
Parents seeking a co-parenting plan

Spouses wanting to avoid court stress and protect family dynamics
