Family and Divorce Mediation: A constructive, non-adversarial approach

Divorce mediation offers an alternative to traditional litigation, helping couples—especially those with children—work toward mutually acceptable agreements outside of an adversarial court process.

Mediation is most commonly used in family and divorce matters as an alternative to legal proceedings. It allows parties to maintain greater control over the process and decisions that affect their future.

In a divorce, couples must address:

• Parenting arrangements and the restructuring of the family unit
• Financial matters, including support and division of assets
• New Jersey law and court procedures

What does a mediator do?

• Explains the mediation process
• Provides a supportive, non-confrontational setting in which to negotiate
• Assists the parties to understand and analyze the facts and issues
• Keeps the parties focused on the issues
• Helps the parties gain control of their dispute
• Facilitates creative and cost-effective solutions

For many families, mediation offers a constructive, non-adversarial path forward.
