Guiding Clients Through The Divorce Mediation Process
The end of a relationship can have incredibly high costs, both in time and money. The last thing most people want is an expensive, drawn-out battle involving lawyers and courts. At Cobert, Haber & Haber Attorneys at Law, we provide divorce mediation services for those who wish to avoid such headaches. From our Garden City offices, we serve clients in Nassau County, on Long Island and throughout the New York metropolitan area.
When beginning the mediation process, people often have many questions. In fact, they may not even know which questions to ask. Our experienced mediators place a strong emphasis on clear, open communication. By helping you identify your goals and keeping you informed throughout the process, you will have the knowledge you need to make important decisions. Areas of consideration include:
- Property division: The division of property, assets and debts can be agreed upon in the mediation process.
- Child custody and visitation: Mediation allows parents to work more cooperatively and calmly together to establish custody and visitation agreements.
- Child support: Though the amount of child support is set by state statute, any deviations to this can be agreed upon in mediation.
- Spousal maintenance (alimony): Divorcing spouses can settle the issue of spousal support and maintenance with the oversight of a trained mediator.
Hoping To Avoid Court? Try Family Mediation.
Divorce mediation is not a feasible option if one party is trying to hide something. However, if both parties are committed to being open and transparent throughout the process — and committed to avoiding the courts — mediation can be an excellent choice.
In cases involving child custody and visitation, it is not just the ex-partners who benefit from mediation. Children typically respond much more positively as well. When both parties are dedicated to working out a co-parenting agreement, it can produce benefits that last for the rest of a child's life.
