FAMILY LAW MEDIATION
New York Divorce Mediation
A private, court-free path to resolution
Family law mediation lets couples keep private matters outside the courtroom. Each person acts as their own advocate, while a neutral mediator helps you build a tailored separation agreement covering issues such as child custody and support. Mediation may save time and money and allows more specific agreements than litigation.
THE ROLE OF A MEDIATOR
Your Neutral Advocate
In family law mediation, each person acts as their own advocate. The mediator does not take sides or decide the outcome. Instead, a neutral mediator guides the conversation, helps you identify what matters most, and works with you both to build a separation agreement tailored to your family, including arrangements for child custody and support. Because the terms come from you rather than a judge, New York divorce mediation can produce more specific, practical agreements than litigation, while keeping private matters out of court.

WHAT CAN BE MEDIATED?
Topics for Resolution
Family law mediation can address many of the issues couples face during a separation or divorce. With the help of a neutral mediator, you and your spouse can work through each topic and shape an agreement that fits your family.
Child Custody and Support
Parents can create custody, parenting-time, and child support arrangements built around their children's schedules and needs, rather than leaving those decisions to a judge.
Property Division
Couples can discuss how to divide homes, accounts, and other assets and debts, reaching terms that reflect their priorities in a private setting outside of court.
Separation Agreements
In New York divorce mediation, a mediator can help you build a detailed separation agreement that may be more specific to your circumstances than a court-ordered outcome.
Spousal Support
Each spouse speaks for themselves while discussing whether support will be paid, how much, and for how long, working toward terms both can accept.
