Divorce Made Straightforward
Our process is designed to make mediation as simple, efficient, and stress-free as possible.
How NHDM Divorce Mediation Works
The NHDM process begins with both participants sharing relevant financial information and any preliminary agreements with each other and the mediator. Sessions are then organized around the specific issues each couple needs to resolve, including property division, financial responsibilities, parenting arrangements, and communication planning. The mediator facilitates every conversation, helping both participants articulate their priorities, consider their options, and work through challenges step by step. The pace is always determined by the participants themselves. Once all terms are agreed upon, the mediator prepares your Marital Settlement Agreement and Custody Stipulation for review and approval. After you sign your Agreements, we will assist you in moving forward with the pro se filing process with the Court so you can obtain your Divorce Decree. All sessions are confidential and available in person or online.
Why Participants in Abington Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
For families in Abington with children, mediation offers a process designed around cooperation and productive communication rather than courtroom conflict. When parents work through their separation collaboratively, they establish the foundation for a co-parenting relationship that protects their children long after the divorce is finalized. Mediation also moves significantly faster than litigation, often concluding in months rather than years, which reduces the emotional strain on the entire family. The cost is far less than a contested divorce, and because both participants actively shape their own agreement, the outcomes are more practical and more durable. The process is private, scheduling is flexible, and the pace is always set by the participants themselves.

With extensive experience helping families across Montgomery County, our team understands that clarity, patience, and steady pacing are essential at every stage of mediation.

We don’t get along well. How can we possibly mediate?
Some people understandably think that they must be amicable to mediate. It is a common misconception. While that is a terrific place to start, it is often unrealistic, as communication may be at an all-time low when a couple is approaching the divorce process. Part of your attorney-mediator’s training is to assist divorcing couples who have difficulty communicating but who still would prefer to work things out between themselves to retain control over the terms of their divorce, save money and expedite the divorce process. Your attorney-mediator will guide you through a problem-solving process that encourages you to attack the problems, not each other.
Why choose divorce mediation?
Separation and divorce are among the most painful and disruptive events that an individual and family can experience. The problems are both financial and emotional, deeply touching all members of the family. Mediation aims at reducing this tension. Our goal is to ensure that the divorce process does not add to the problem. With the help of your attorney-mediator, couples negotiate their own agreements and in the process may learn techniques for resolving future differences. Mediation is for couples who want to retain control over the decisions that affect their lives and don’t want their children caught in the middle.
How does divorce mediation differ from going to court?
Divorce litigation is an adversarial process where attorneys argue for their client, which often leads to more court appearances and hurt feelings. Divorce attorneys exchange information through complex discovery procedures which could take years to complete. The divorce litigation process is very adversarial and geared toward winning at the expense of the opposing side. Litigation generally takes years and tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Divorce mediation enables you to work together to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Your attorney-mediator will coach, educate and guide you through your concerns and options. There is less fighting and more problem solving so you may focus on your real needs and the best interests of your children. Mediation allows you to retain control over the process and have a hand in making your own well-informed decisions about your life and your family rather than having a judge or attorneys decide your future.
Is mediation confidential?
Yes, mediation is a confidential process. Your communications with your mediator are confidential, which means your mediator will not share them with anyone outside of your mediation without your permission. Your negotiations during mediation are also inadmissible as evidence in court, which allows you to speak freely. Confidentiality encourages open communication and protects the privacy of both participants.
