What is Mediation?

Mediation is the process in which a trained, neutral person facilitates a fair agreement between people in conflict.

Why Choose Mediation Over Litigation?

Mediation: 

• Is less expensive
• Allows you to be an active participant in reaching an agreement
• Is a flexible process, tailored to your family’s specific needs
• Is protected by mediator confidentiality
• Retains your individual dignity
• Avoids lengthy court proceedings
• Models appropriate conflict resolution for your children

How Much Does Mediation Cost?

There is a reasonable hourly fee for mediation services. This will be discussed with you fully before you begin the mediation process. For more information on how we can assist you, please call (201) 794-4545 or Contact Us online.  If you are unsure as to whether divorce mediation is for you, take advantage of our offer for a Free Session.  You will be entitled to a forty-five minute mediation session without any professional fee. (You will be charged a modest administrative fee for opening your file.) After the session, you will decide if you wish to continue with mediation.  If you choose not to continue, you need not return and you will have no further financial obligation.  If you wish to continue, you will do so without paying an advance retainer.  Rather, you will pay as you complete each additional session. (Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit card for each session and will be due at the completion of the session.)

If you are considering divorce or have already made your decision please call us. We'll explain how you can protect your legal rights, reduce the expense of divorce, and protect your children from undue emotional stress. You owe it to yourselves, and to your loved ones, to pursue the option of divorce mediation.

 (Not every couple is interested in mediation services. For this reason, I have established the Fair Lawn Divorce Center. You may come for legal consultations or Uncontested No-Fault Divorce.  I also serve as a Divorce Coach.  You may hit the corresponding tab above for Divorce Coach information.)
