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 parenting arrangements, property and financial matters, and plans for the future. The mediator facilitates every conversation, helping both participants clarify their priorities, consider their options, and work through difficult topics step by step. The timeline is set entirely by the participants. Once all issues are resolved, the mediator drafts 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 private, confidential, and available in person or online.
Why Participants in Blue Bell Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
Participants in Blue Bell choose mediation because it resolves divorce far more quickly than the court process. The delays that define contested litigation are replaced by focused sessions that move the process forward at the participants’ own pace, typically completing in months rather than years. This efficiency also dramatically reduces the financial and emotional cost of separation. Both participants retain control over every decision, producing outcomes that are more practical and more durable. For families with children, the cooperative structure of mediation builds the foundation for effective co-parenting going forward. The process is private from start to finish, and scheduling is flexible around work and family commitments.

What does the attorney mediator do?
Your attorney-mediator is a neutral facilitator specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. Your attorney-mediator provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and provides creative options for resolving issues. She explores options and resulting consequences but is not an advocate for either party. Your attorney-mediator works to ensure that neither party dominates the other. Even though one party may be a more powerful negotiator, your attorney-mediator helps to balance the power through the mediation process. She facilitates communication between the parties by ensuring that each party is given time to speak. Your attorney-mediator does not take sides; instead, we aim to help both of you reach an agreement that meets everyone’s needs.
Will our agreement be legally binding and enforceable?
Yes. Once your Marital Settlement Agreement is signed it is a legally binding contract. Mediated agreements are just as binding as the agreements reached during the litigation process and they have a better record of standing the test of time because both parties participated in creating it. When your divorce process is complete and your Divorce Decree is signed by a judge, the Marital Settlement Agreement will be incorporated into your Divorce Decree and the terms you have voluntarily agreed to will become a legally binding and enforceable Order of the Court.
Should I also retain a lawyer during mediation?
You are always welcome to retain outside counsel before, during and/or after the divorce mediation process has begun. Neither party may bring an attorney into the mediation sessions, but a well-informed participant is always a good thing. At one point in the divorce mediation process, your attorney-mediator will draft your Marital Settlement Agreement and invite you to have separate lawyers review it before you sign. During your divorce mediation process, your attorney-mediator may provide legal information but is not permitted to provide legal advice or representation.
Suppose I’m not happy with mediation?
You may choose to terminate the divorce mediation process and opt for the litigation route at any time. Most couples who begin mediation do complete the process, but you are in control as the decision maker in the mediation process. You choose how you wish to proceed. It is important, however, to make a good faith effort to complete the mediation process for the sake of your family and for each other.
