DIVORCE MEDIATION SERVICES
At Divorce Mediation Services of Buffalo we provide you with control over the divorce outcome and your future. As a neutral third party, our divorce mediator facilitates a holistic, amicable approach to your divorce but does not represent or advise either party. This process is a meeting of the minds that is developed using standard information.

Divorce mediation is an informal process in which your options are discussed, negotiated and resolved. Mediation is discreet, faster and significantly less expensive alternative to a litigated divorce. Our mediator guides both parties to identify the issues, identify the options and help both parties decide which options work best for them. At the conclusion of the sessions our mediator will draft an agreement outlining all of the mutually agreed upon topics. This agreement will then be submitted to the Court and made into a legally binding agreement. Divorce Mediation allows both parties to control the terms of their divorce and craft a agreement that works best for you and your family.

The Mediation Process

The goal of our mediation team is to help you negotiate and resolve issues such as custody, visitation, property division, child support, spousal support and other issues.

"We believe that divorce is not the end, rather a transition to a new beginning".

Stephen E. Felman


Below is an explanation of the process:

Intake Appointment

An initial intake appointment is held during which both spouses attend and the general goals of the parties are discussed.
A written agreement between the parties themselves, as well as the mediator, is reviewed and signed.
The mediator will assign certain tasks at this initial meeting, such as bringing in certain documentation for the next meeting.
Subsequent Appointments

A series of subsequent appointments are then conducted. Most will consist of a conjoint session (both spouses and the mediator)

The number of appointments will depend on the number of issues the spouses need to negotiate and the degree to which they are willing to compromise.

The frequency of appointments is scheduled according to how much time spouses need to complete “homework assignments” and/or to “think” between sessions.
Agreement

At each session the mediator makes detailed notes of agreements as they are reached.

When all issues are resolved as a result of the mediation sessions, the mediator will draft a memorandum of understanding ( your agreement), which is a document summarizing the agreements that have been made.

The mediator will recommend that the spouses take the agreement to a “consulting attorney” to look over the final document before signing.

Once signed, the mediator sends the document to court for approval, and the matter is concluded

If you and your spouse believe that mediation is the right path for you and your family, allow the experienced and caring mediators at Divorce Mediation Services of Buffalo LLC. handle your case with the respect and dignity you deserve.
