Here are some fundamental questions you have about Divorce Mediation.
Considering divorce but don't know what to do? When considering
divorce the first thing most people do is call a lawyer. There
is a better alternative. Call a divorce mediator instead. The
mediator will NOT want a retainer. The mediator will NOT encourage
you to fight with your spouse. The mediator will NOT increase
conflict between you and your spouse. The mediator WILL protect
the interests of your children. The mediator WILL provide a
forum where you and your spouse can figure out a way to create
a new life for yourselves in your new status as divorced parents.

or e-mail.
Is consulting a lawyer too aggressive? Most lawyers are trained in the advocate role which sets them up to think in terms of winning and losing. Naturally, they approach a divorce case in the same manner in which they have been trained. In most cases, a client is better served by consulting a divorce mediator. In divorce mediation, the interests of both parties, as well as the interests of the children are taken into careful consideration by both spouses with the assistance of the mediator. If you would like to talk with us about your situation, you can contact us by phone at 212-628-9200, or fax at 212-472-7253, or e-mail.
Divorce mediation is an alternative to getting separated or divorced through the win-lose process of two lawyers and sometimes seemingly endless squabbles. Typically, the mediator sits in a room with both the husband and wife and discusses issues that must be resolved prior to divorce. The issues that traditionally are dealt with in two separate lawyers' offices are discussed by both spouses in one office with the mediator. Mediators have found that the individual voices of both the husband and the wife are listened to and respected during the mediation process while an equitable resolution of differences is sought. Issues of child support, maintenance and custody, money decisions, pension rights, etc. are decided upon by the husband and wife, the parties that are most affected by them, rather than by two lawyers or a judge.

Can I get divorced and not traumatize my children? In addition to mediating divorces, The Divorce Mediators are specialists in helping parents deal with the pre- and post-divorce adjustment of their children. Our mediators are both psychologists and mediators and can guide you through a divorce with the least amount of trauma for your children. Mediators are not on one spouse's side. They are on the side of an equitable and friendly divorce. Child care arrangements that both spouses can live with are one of the most important considerations during the mediation process. Primarily the children are protected because a cooperative and friendly relationship between parents is maintained throughout. If you would like to talk with us about your situation, you can contact us by phone at 212-628-9200, or fax at 212-472-7253, or e-mail.
Can we go to a divorce mediator even though we are already divorced? Divorce mediators frequently work with families that have already been divorced. Sometimes an initial agreement needs to be changed. Mediation is a good place to discuss and implement changes that need to occur. Often these changes center on child care. Since we are specialists in helping parents deal with the pre- and post-divorce adjustment of their children we are available to consult with you on these matters. If you would like to talk with us about your situation, you can contact us by phone at 212-628-9200, or fax at 212-472-7253, or e-mail.
Who are The Divorce Mediators? Over
the years, we have counseled many couples, individuals and children
who have been involved in the trauma of divorce. We have also seen
the destructive effects that a litigated divorce often has on all
the parties involved. Helping couples to divorce amicably and equitably
is our goal. As divorce mediators, we are trained to reach that
goal. As psychologists, we are sensitive to the needs of the children
of divorce as well as the needs of the divorcing parents. If you
would like to talk with us about your situation, you can contact
us by phone at 212-628-9200, or fax at 212-472-7253, or e-mail.
