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. 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 Plumsteadville Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation

Participants in Plumsteadville 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, both participants remain actively 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 moves in months rather than years and is completely private throughout. Scheduling is flexible around work and family commitments.

What to Expect from New Hope Divorce Mediation

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. 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 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.

Does divorce mediation require a retainer?

Some mediators charge a retainer and an hourly rate. We do not. We charge a set fee for the entire divorce mediation process. You will know what the set fee is at the conclusion of your initial consultation prior to you making any commitment to the divorce mediation process.

Will the mediator pressure us into saving our marriage?

Mediators are not couples therapists. Their job is not to reunite you. Mediators focus on helping you arrive at a negotiated agreement to equitably resolve your divorce issues and concerns.
