Mediation is an alternative to traditional divorce litigation that allows couples to come to a resolution of the issues without going to court. In mediation, a neutral party (the mediator) helps the couple identify the issues that need to be resolved and come to an agreement.

Both parties will receive personal assistance in developing specific resolutions that address each of their family issues. From alimony to division of assets, child custody, and child support, New Jersey family law courts are in favor of family law mediation as an alternative to conventional divorce litigation. Our mediators focus on opening the lines of communication so each party can have his or her fair say, both now and long after the divorce process has come to closure. Sensitive to the vulnerabilities this troubling time can create, the goal is to manage the discussions while keeping stress levels at bay. Your mediator is a strong listener and creative problem solver, hoping to encourage positive attitudes from all participants.

Divorce mediation is a cooperative, not contentious, process designed to achieve peaceful solutions during times of conflict.  Couples in distress looking to maintain a respectful relationship for their family’s best interest often find that the services of a qualified mediator is the most civilized way to address and resolve disputes. Additionally, family law and divorce mediation is beneficial to many couples in the early stages of considering separation or divorce, especially when it comes to creating workable child custody and parenting time plans, simplifying the division of assets and liabilities and developing agreeable alimony and child support provisions.

At the Dasaro Law Firm, P.C., our mediator Attorney Julia Dasaro, can either be retained as the actual mediator in your family law matter, or can serve as independent counsel offering professional legal advice during the divorce mediation process. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the divorce process, we cannot act in both capacities in the same case.
