Divorce Mediation
In divorce mediation, you and your spouse meet with me, a trained, neutral mediator to discuss and resolve the issues in your divorce. Mediation sessions often take place in an informal office setting, or you might also be able to go through your mediation online.
The Mediator serves as a facilitator to help you and your spouse figure out what's best for your situation and helps you arrive at a resolution based on your ideas of what is fair , rather than having a solution imposed upon you by the courts.
When you reach an agreement, a settlement document will be drafted and filed with the Court to become part of your final divorce decree. Also, Mediation is always less costly than litigation.
Providing a simplified process to a brighter future
I am an attorney in private practice with offices located in Nassau and Suffolk County. I have fulfilled extensive requirements and training with The Center for Family & Divorce Mediation, at Columbia University, New York City.
With a focus on amicably facilitating solutions for divorcing couples, my guidance continuously yields satisfying results helping you to find "a better way" to end your marriage.
My Approach
For years I have been helping families to resolve their marital and property issues. I am a firm believer that there is a humanistic and efficient alternative to the adversarial divorce process.
Move forward separately, while continuing to provide a healthy life together as parents yet separate as a couple.
Better understand each other's views and discover creative alternatives to otherwise entrenched positions.
Maintain the sanctity of your family
The following important topics, among others, will form the basis of the Agreement that will define the terms of your divorce:
Division of marital assets
Parenting decisions/child custody arrangements
Child Support
Spousal Maintenance
Communication will take place directly between you and your spouse. This method affords couples the ability to directly control and determine each decision that will affect you and the lives of your children.
Divorce Mediation is an amicable proceeding and “a better way” towards maintaining the sanctity of your family.
