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 built 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. Each session builds on the progress made before it, and the pace is always set by the participants. 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 Glenside Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation

Participants in Glenside choose mediation because it costs a fraction of what contested litigation demands. While a litigated divorce involves retainers that must be replenished repeatedly over a process that can drag on for years, mediation involves a set fee covering the entire process. Beyond the financial savings, the emotional cost of litigation, for both participants and their children, is greatly reduced when families choose a cooperative approach. Both participants remain in control of every decision, which leads to outcomes that hold up well over time. For families with children, mediation builds the productive communication that effective co-parenting requires going forward. The process is private, and scheduling is flexible around work and family commitments.

With extensive experience helping families in Montgomery County through this process, our team understands that clarity, patience, and steady pacing are essential at every stage.

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.

Do mediators give legal advice?

No, mediators do not give legal advice or represent either participant. They may provide general legal information to help participants understand the context of their decisions, but they will not suggest strategies or recommend what anyone should do. Participants remain fully in control of their choices.

What is the difference between mediation and hiring attorneys?

Mediation is a process where a neutral facilitator helps both participants communicate and make decisions together. Attorneys represent individual clients and provide legal advice, while mediators remain neutral and provide information to help participants create their own agreements.
