NJ Divorce mediation is a great alternative to traditional divorce. Divorce Mediation is a process in which the mediator helps you identify all the issues that need to be covered in your divorce and included in the separation agreement.
Dushkin + Jennings will help you in your divorce mediation by assisting in the assemblage of records, filling out the forms, such as the Case Information Statement. Together we will determine what it costs to live apart and using that information together with the current income, provide advice and help you determine the amount and duration of support.
We will show you how the State Child Support Guidelines forms in divorce mediation apply to your situation.
In Divorce Mediation in NJ you will be able to identify all of your marital assets by reviewing your records, figure out their value, and divide them fairly. We can provide forms to help you figure that out.
We will also help you make all of the future parenting decisions.
Divorce Mediation is conducted so that there should be no losers - one spouse should not win at the expense of the other.
DIVORCE MEDIATION is a non-adversarial process helping people negotiate directly and dissolve marriages once the decision to divorce or separate is made. We provide you with the opportunity to negotiate mutually beneficial terms in total privacy.
DIVORCE MEDIATION helps identify key issues concerning the division of personal and real property, support, parenting, and plans for the future. It helps eliminate the painful win-lose atmosphere that is part of all adversarial divorces. The process is a mutual search for a reasonable solution; neither partner can win at the other's expense. Resolutions must emerge from the process with a settlement created and accepted by both. Divorce Mediation can also deal with specific limited issues such as times of access, what to do with the house, or other issues specified by you at the start.
The important aspects of DIVORCE MEDIATION are :
-It is non-adversarial. You are partners in decision-making. We can only provide advice.
-It is mutual. You both must agree on solutions, or there is no agreement.
-It helps clarify areas of conflict. Most couples have some conflict. The mediator helps you limit the conflict and discuss things productively. By filling out the Case Information Statement we can compare the differences side by side.
-It gives you power. You control your own decision over your own lives.
-It is best for your children. All of the discussions are tempered by the fact that you are both parents of your children and you will have a continuing relationship as parents after you have ended the spouse relationship. Most other forms of divorce negotiations forget the best interests of the children. In mediation it is always paramount.
You owe it to yourself, your children, and your future to learn more about divorce mediation.
Fees are moderate and on an hourly basis. We charge no retainers. You pay only for the actual time you use.
We ask that you share in the fees in a way that is appropriate to your situation, remembering that the divorce mediator is working for both of you.
The average divorce mediation takes twelve hours. Divorce mediation of specific issues may take longer and for couples without children it may be shorter.
We work with a clinical psychologist who has worked with clients in therapy and divorce mediation for over 25 years.
How to proceed. All you need to do is to call (973-218-0089) and arrange for a mutually convenient appointment for you and your spouse to come in for a no obligation, free consultation. At that time, a detailed explanation of how we proceed is described. Both of you receive the same information, and therefore each of you can rest assured that you will be on equal footing from the outset of the proceedings.
DIVORCE MEDIATION is not a legal service. The outcome of the mediation is a memorandum of understanding detailing all of your agreements that your attorney will review and incorporate into the formal legal documents. We can refer you to attorneys who have agreed to perform these services for modest fees.
