divorce mediation services IN new york

Divorce doesn’t have to be combative. My Divorce Mediation Services provide a structured, compassionate, and neutral space for couples to work through the process of separation with dignity, respect, and a focus on long-term emotional stability. Serving clients across New York State, I help individuals resolve their differences and move forward—without the emotional and financial toll of courtroom litigation.

Whether you're early in the separation process or seeking support for parenting-related decisions after a legal split, I offer a personalized, human-centered approach that prioritizes collaboration, understanding, and the well-being of any children involved.

As a trained and experienced divorce mediator, my goal is to facilitate healthy, productive conversations between both parties. I work with couples to:

• Identify and prioritize individual and shared needs
• Explore fair, balanced solutions related to parenting and co-parenting
• Reduce conflict and manage emotional tension
• Establish clear agreements around custody and parenting time
• Support respectful, child-centered dialogue during separation

My role is to maintain neutrality while ensuring that both voices are heard and that the outcomes we work toward are sustainable, clear, and tailored to your family’s unique dynamics.

Unlike litigation, which often escalates conflict and a prolonged process, divorce mediation is a forward-looking process rooted in cooperation and emotional intelligence. While I do provide mediation services around financial settlements or asset division, I specialize in helping clients address:

• Custody arrangements and parental responsibilities
• Parenting time schedules, including holidays, vacations, and school transitions
• Future co-parenting plans and communication strategies
• Transitions involving children’s routines and well-being
• Boundary-setting and respectful disengagement

These topics are often among the most emotionally charged in any separation. My approach is grounded in experience, empathy, and structure, helping couples stay focused on what matters most—the children’s stability, and each individual’s ability to move forward peacefully.

• A confidential, non-adversarial environment
• Faster resolution than drawn-out legal proceedings
• Lower emotional stress for all parties, especially children
• A chance to create personalized agreements based on your unique circumstances
• More control over the process and outcomes
• A cost-effective way to reduce legal expenses
• The opportunity to preserve dignity, reduce bitterness, and begin co-parenting with clarity, stability, and each individual’s ability to move forward peacefully.

Because mediation is voluntary and collaborative, it empowers each person to participate meaningfully in shaping the next phase of their life. When children are involved, mediation also lays the groundwork for a stronger co-parenting relationship—one that’s built on communication, respect, and mutual understanding.

Divorce mediation may be a good fit if:

• You and your partner want to avoid litigation and court battles
• You both agree to work toward resolution in good faith
• Your focus is on creating stability for yourselves and/or your children
• You need support in resolving parenting or custody-related issues
• You value privacy, collaboration, and emotional integrity

Even if there are high emotions or challenging dynamics, many couples find mediation helpful when guided by an experienced, neutral facilitator. My goal as a mediator for divorce is to help you reach outcomes that feel fair, make sense, and prepare you both for the next chapter.
