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. From there, sessions are structured around the specific matters each couple needs to resolve, including parenting schedules, property division, financial responsibilities, and communication planning. The mediator facilitates each conversation, helping both participants express their priorities, evaluate a range of options, and work through challenges at a manageable pace. The timeline is always set by the participants themselves. Once all terms are in place, the mediator prepares your Marital Settlement Agreement and Custody Stipulation for your 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 Ambler Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
For families in Ambler with children, mediation offers a process specifically built around cooperation and productive communication rather than courtroom conflict. When parents work through their separation together, they build the foundation for a co-parenting relationship that benefits their children for years to come. Because mediation replaces adversarial proceedings with structured conversation, it shields children from the prolonged stress and disruption that contested litigation creates. The process also resolves far more quickly than court proceedings, typically completing in months, and costs a fraction of a litigated divorce. Both participants remain in control of every decision, and scheduling is flexible throughout.
What to Expect from New Hope Divorce Mediation
Our mediators create a safe space where both participants can speak openly, ask questions, and work through difficult topics without pressure or judgment. We do not advocate for either party, take sides, or offer legal advice. We provide relevant information, help clarify complicated topics, and ensure that both participants have a full opportunity to be heard throughout the process. With extensive experience helping families across Montgomery County, our team understands that clarity, patience, and steady pacing are essential at every stage of mediation.

Is mediation cheaper than retaining litigation attorneys to handle a divorce?
Significantly. We charge a set fee which is provided at the conclusion of your complimentary consultation. Our fee, which covers the entire mediation process, is generally less than the initial retainer set by most divorce litigators, and which you would have to replenish repeatedly in litigation. Typical litigated divorce costs run significantly higher than the cost of mediation. Also, keep in mind that “cost” not only means dollars spent but the emotional cost to the parties and their children who suffer through litigated divorces. This emotional cost is also greatly reduced by the mediation process.
What are the steps in the divorce mediation process?
The process begins with a consultation where you will have the opportunity to meet with one of our attorney-mediators free of charge to determine whether this is the right process for you. We explain and discuss the mediation process in detail so that you can make an informed decision about how you want to proceed. During mediation sessions, you and the mediator identify and discuss the various issues you need to resolve and explore options and possibilities for how to resolve them. Your attorney-mediator will provide information about the law which is relevant to your issues and information to help you reach agreements that meet all your needs. When you have reached agreement on all issues, your attorney-mediator will draft your Marital Settlement Agreement and Custody Agreement for your review. After your attorney-mediator has drafted your agreements, you may meet to review the draft so that you are comfortable that the formal agreements properly reflect your understanding.
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.
