Why Divorce Mediation?

The process of divorce can be one of the most stressful, emotional, and difficult experiences that you and your family may experience. It is a process that affects you, your children, family, and friends.

At SMART DIVORCE we provide you with control over the divorce outcome and your future, all while avoiding costly litigation fees and keeping you out of court. As a unbiased third party, our divorce mediation team facilitates a comprehensive, cordial approach to your divorce while operating under the guidelines of the law.
 

Divorce mediation services are less expensive than litigation.

The average cost of a litigated divorce in New York State is approximately $50,000, and it could take years to reach an agreement. Spending that amount of money while contending for such an elongated period of time can cause additional damage to your relationship, your children, and your loved ones but most of all is unnecessary to reach an agreement.


Divorce mediation is a fraction of the cost than that of litigation.

Call us today and we will be happy to explain why we are not only cost effective, but $1,500 less than other mediators in the area.
 

Divorce mediation is confidential and private.

The divorce mediation process is private, allowing your confidential information to be discussed in a unbiased forum without the weight of a court case or judicial proceeding after.
 

Divorce mediation takes less time.

The entire divorce mediation process can be finalized on average with three-to-four sessions. Don't spend years in court with a contested litigation.


Divorce mediation is less stressful.

With mediation, each party discusses the process on their own terms, reaching a mutual decision that works for each party. This method allows us to move at an appropriate speed, improves your post-agreement relationship, and reduces the psychological impact of the divorce on the parties involved.


Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Is mediation private and confidential?

    Yes, all of the discussions held in our sessions are informal, neutral, completely private, and confidential. Mediation offers 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?

    Yes. A mediator works with both parties in coming to mutual agreements on all issues regarding the settlement. You’ll have control over the future of your family, rather than having life components dictated by an attorney or judge.

  • Is mediation less costly than litigation?

    Yes, mediation is far more affordable than litigation. The average cost of a litigated divorce in New York State is $50,000. We offer a simple to manage flat fee service which allows us to be $1,500 less than our competitors. 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. 

  • Is mediation less stressful than using attorneys?

    Yes, mediation offers both parties the power and opportunity to constructively communicate in a focused and respectful 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; after all, you know what is best for you and your children.

  • What does a mediator do?

    A mediator is a non-biased third party who aids a divorcing couple to work through important issues on their path to a mutual agreement. The role of the mediator is to help you to explore your options in a fair and impartial environment. The mediator will draft an agreement for both parties, outlining a parenting plan, equitable distribution of assets, child support, and spousal maintenance/alimony.

  • Is mediation easy?

    Though there is nothing particularly easy about divorce, mediation empowers both individuals to come to a mutual agreement on your own terms, rather than placing those decisions in the hands of judges or attorneys. Most importantly, divorce mediation allows you to maintain the confidentiality and personal integrity that you and your family deserve.
