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 schedules, property division, financial responsibilities, and communication planning. The mediator facilitates every conversation, helping both participants articulate their priorities, consider a range of options, and work through challenges step by step. The pace is always determined 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 Plymouth Meeting Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation

For families in Plymouth Meeting 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 establish 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, typically in months, and costs a fraction of a litigated divorce. Both participants remain in control of every decision, and the process is private throughout.

What are the benefits of divorce mediation over litigation?

In mediation, you retain control over your divorce process and the agreements you reach. Because you communicate directly with each other instead of through lawyers, mediation is significantly less expensive and much faster than litigation. Mediation also brings priceless benefits to your children and each other by reducing conflict so you may focus on your needs and the best interests of your children. Mediation supports cooperative communication and offers you flexible meeting times in consideration of your work schedule and keeps you in control of the pace. Mediation offers you the opportunity to craft a unique agreement tailored to your specific circumstances and gives you a private process that avoids public disclosure of your financial and personal matters.

How can we be productive when we can’t talk to each other?

The presence of a trained divorce attorney-mediator dramatically changes the interpersonal dynamics of the divorcing couple. An experienced attorney-mediator has the skills necessary to foster constructive communication. Through the process, you come to understand that it’s in the best interests of your family to work together to reach an acceptable settlement. Your attorney-mediator facilitates the communication and provides neutral, relevant legal information and experience to assist you with your negotiation and resolution process. Your attorney-mediator will provide information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and the options and alternatives to help you resolve difficult issues.

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.
