Frequently Asked Questions
Is mediation private and confidential?
Yes, all of the discussions held in our sessions are informal, neutral and completely private and confidential. Mediation features an open forum setting to review options, consider alternatives and develop solutions without the worry that what you say can be used against you in litigation.
Can we maintain control in the process and direction of our lives?
Absolutely. A mediator works with both parties in coming to mutual agreements on all issues regarding your settlement. You will have control over the future of your family, rather than having your life decided by an attorney or judge over several years.Is mediation less costly than litigation?
Yes, mediation is far more affordable than any litigation service. The average cost of a litigated divorce in New York State is almost $30,000. We offer a simple to manage flat fee service. This eliminates any guessing game of how much it will cost in the end and turns out to be less expensive than other mediators billing by the hour. However, there will be additional expenses for legal fees and filing fees that will be part of any mediation process, regardless of the mediation service.Is mediation less stressful than using attorneys?
Yes, mediation offers both parties the ability and opportunity to constructively communicate in a focused and respectfully controlled environment. Agreements reached during mediation move through the court approval process much faster without the need to ever set foot into a courtroom. You can exercise control over the decisions made. You know what is best for you and your children, you should have a hand in deciding that.What does a mediator do?

Most importantly, divorce mediation allows you to maintain the confidentiality and personal integrity that you and your family deserve.
