What are the advantages of Mediation?
CONTROL
The couple makes their own decisions about parenting issues, finances, and how their lives will be pending the divorce and after the divorce. They will live by an agreement they have made instead of being told what they must do by a judge after spending thousands of dollars fighting in Court and waiting for months or years to be heard.
HEALTHIER FOR THE CHILDREN
Mediation is particularly important when children are involved. In Court no one is representing the children and they often get lost if not ruined by the animosity that abounds in the litigated case. In Mediation with Anna Mae Perillo, the children will come first. Their individual needs can be taken into account. Anna Mae Perillo will help you come up with a parenting plan outlining when the children will see each parent, how they will be taken to their activities, how holidays and other special events can be shared with the children and each parent. The parenting plan can be customized in ways that would not ordinarily happen in a litigated case. The goal in Mediation is to have healthy and happy children that still have the voice and presence of both of their parents. The goal will be to maximize consistency and stability. The children will be emotionally healthier with two parents who even though will not remain together will nevertheless continue to work together for their benefit. Also, Anna Mae Perillo has a list of child specialists who can be called upon if the couple believes their child may need some support before and/or after the divorce.
COSTS ARE DRASTICALLY REDUCED
Divorce mediation saves thousands of dollars. In Mediation you pay one hourly fee, not two. Ms. Perillo asks for no up-front retainer so the couple often saves about $10,000 in retainer fees alone. It has been said that the average cost of Divorce in New Jersey is $25,000 each or $50,000 for the couple. The average cost of Anna Mae Perillo’s Divorce Mediation is ~$3,000, which includes a draft Marital Settlement Agreement. From there the couple may expect to pay about $2,000 to 3,000 for the review attorneys to complete the paperwork and get the Final Judgment of Divorce. Getting divorced in the state of New Jersey for about $5,000 is a huge cost savings. Expert fees are also dramatically reduced since if a financial expert is needed the couple can decide on one expert instead of each retaining a separate expert and the Court appointing a third expert if the couple’s experts are far apart on the numbers. Also the entire Mediation process is simply more time efficient than the alternative litigated case. You will not be billed at $600 to $900 per hour for two attorneys traveling and then standing around waiting in Court, or for writing nasty letters back and forth. Each time the couple meets with Anna Mae Perillo for a mediation session a lot will be accomplished and no time is wasted.

Wills and Other Documents You Should Have:

It might not be top on your list, but it is very important to have three documents that Anna Mae Perillo can prepare for you so that you and your family are protected:

Last Will & Testament
Control where your personal property and other assets will go. Designate a suitable guardian for your children. Decide who will be the one to probate your will and make sure your wishes are carried out. Even if you do not have a lot of assets, it is still important to have a will so there will not be a long and arduous process of taking care of things if you pass intestate (without a Will). Even changing the title to your car can be a headache without a will appointing someone to handle your estate.

Living Will & Health Care Proxy
This is the document you will need if you do not want to be kept on life support if you will never have any form of meaningful life again such as if you are in a non-reversible coma or vegetative state. This document can also direct organ donation only if that is something you want to do. You will choose the person and alternates who you trust to carry out your wishes and make healthcare decisions when you are not able to make them on your own.

Power of Attorney
It is important to appoint someone who would be able to pay your bills, go to the bank, and otherwise do what you would be able to do for yourself if you become hospitalized, incapacitated, or even if you need to be out of the country for a time.

Protect yourself, your family and loved ones and allow Anna Mae Perillo to prepare these three documents for you at a very affordable rate. You will tuck them away for hopefully a long time to come having the peace of mind knowing you have thought through these important details, that your wishes will be carried out, and those you care about (even if it is a favorite charity) will be taken care of.

Here is a wonderful article featured on NJ.com that outlines the benefits of collaborative divorce and mediation.

https://www.nj.com/sponsor-content-n/?ntv_ccpvw=HRgAAAAAAAAks0LA&prx_ro=s

The article references the Jersey Shore Collaborative Law Group’s training program. At the request of the Group, eight years ago, I developed and have taught the eight hour mediation training class to attorneys, financial and mental health professionals. Additionally, with its accreditation from the New Jersey Supreme Court, the class provides 9.2 credits of continuing legal education which goes toward the 24 hour/2 year requirement for attorneys.
