WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Mediation

Mediation is a viable low-cost alternative to traditional divorce litigation. A qualified mediator acts as a third party to resolve key issues, including child custody, support and visitation as well as alimony and asset division. Mediation typically takes two to three sessions. At the end of the process, the mediator creates a legally-binding settlement agreement for your divorce, and includes the necessary forms for you to file your divorce action with the courts.
