A divorce is not often easy for anyone involved, particularly for longer relationships or if children were involved. Dealing with a divorce exclusively in court is not easy for couples. Divorce mediation is a method of avoiding the pitfalls of traditional divorce.
In many scenarios, mediation is a court-mandated process for NJ spouses undergoing divorce. But, more and more people decide to go with a private divorce mediator so that they can dodge legal bills and salvage their relationship for the benefit of their children.
A vigorous and experienced divorce mediator should be able to mitigate problems in some of the most difficult marriages. Effective mediation will be impartial, enabling a constructive divorce process. Because each partner has a say in the matter, divorce mediation is usually successful in identifying a reasonable agreement. Mediators are required by the state to remain impartial, treating each side’s priorities the same.
You should meticulously choose your divorce mediator. Your goals as individuals both need to be met and a mediator who understand that is necessary.

Typically there are two key areas where a divorce mediator spends their efforts: money and custody.
