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 structured around the specific issues each couple needs to resolve, including parenting schedules, property division, financial responsibilities, and communication planning. The mediator facilitates every conversation, helping both participants express their priorities, consider their options, and work through challenges step by step. The timeline is set 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 Fountain Hill Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
For families in Fountain Hill with children, mediation offers a process built specifically around cooperation and productive communication rather than courtroom conflict. When parents work through their separation collaboratively, 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, children are protected from the stress and prolonged disruption that contested litigation creates. The process also resolves far more quickly than court proceedings and costs a fraction of a litigated divorce. Both participants remain in control of every decision, and the process is private and 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 the Lehigh Valley reach well-informed agreements, New Hope Divorce Mediation brings care and focus to every session.

What should I look for when selecting a divorce mediator?
Experience. Compassion. Legal knowledge and experience. You will have the opportunity during your complimentary consultation to meet your attorney-mediator to judge her experience and approach to mediation. You should feel comfortable asking questions and your attorney-mediator should be able to explain the divorce process to you, provide you with clear answers to your questions, and should have experience mediating divorces on a regular basis. One aspect that is very important in choosing your attorney-mediator is the final product — a well written Settlement Agreement. Your goal should be an agreement that is clear and specific so that each of you and any attorney or judge who was not present in the mediation room will clearly understand your reasoning and the process that led to your agreed upon terms and conclusions.
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.
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.
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.
