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 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 clarify 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 Perkasie Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
Participants in Perkasie choose mediation because it costs a fraction of what contested litigation demands. While a litigated divorce typically involves significant attorney retainers that must be replenished throughout a process that can last years, mediation involves a set fee covering the entire process. This financial clarity allows families to focus on what matters rather than absorbing escalating legal costs. Both participants remain in control of every decision, and the outcomes they create together tend to be more durable than terms imposed by a court. For parents, mediation builds the foundation for productive co-parenting communication that continues long after the divorce is final. The process is private, and scheduling is flexible.
What to Expect from New Hope Divorce Mediation
Our mediators create an environment where both participants feel safe to speak openly, ask questions, and work through challenges at a pace that works for them. 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 contribute to the discussion. With extensive experience helping families across Bucks County, our team understands that clarity, patience, and steady pacing are essential at every stage of mediation.

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.
How long does mediation take?
Unlike litigation, the duration of the mediation process is measured in months not years. The number of sessions will depend on the issues that need to be addressed to complete your divorce process, such as the division of assets, debt allocation, support and co-parenting issues. The complexity of the issues and ability of the participants to be flexible as they negotiate their agreement will also dictate the length of the mediation. Some couples want their divorce completed yesterday and others are in no hurry to finalize the process. You have control over the pace of your divorce mediation. However, when the next step of the process is in our hands we pride ourselves in moving your matter forward as quickly as possible to keep our promise of providing a more efficient alternative to litigation.
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.
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.
