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 arrangements, property and financial matters, and plans for the future. The mediator facilitates every conversation, helping both participants clarify their priorities, consider their options, and work through difficult topics step by step. The timeline is always set by the participants. Once all issues are resolved, the mediator drafts 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 private, confidential, and available in person or online.
Why Participants in Richboro Choose New Hope Divorce Mediation
Participants in Richboro choose mediation because it resolves divorce in months, not years.

For families with children, the cooperative structure of mediation builds the foundation for effective co-parenting going forward.

How does divorce mediation work?
Your attorney-mediator will guide you and your spouse in working together to reach an agreement. Mediators help couples separate their spousal role, which is ending, from their parental role, which is continuing. Couples learn to evaluate their present financial circumstances and provide for their future financial needs. With the attorney-mediator’s guidance, agreements aim to resolve both immediate and long-range concerns. The mediator will focus on your specific divorce issues and identify possible options. You will actively participate in the negotiations to resolve your divorce issues and create a mutually satisfactory agreement which addresses the needs of all family members. The attorney-mediator’s goal is to help a divorcing couple reach an agreement that meets everyone’s needs as efficiently and peacefully as possible.
What topics are covered during divorce mediation?
While each divorce is unique, the most common issues discussed during the divorce mediation process are financial issues such as how you are handling your marital residence, division of bank or investment accounts, retirement accounts, debts, any investment properties and business ownership, spousal support and alimony; and children’s issues such as custody, parenting time schedules, child support and childcare expenses, health insurance, college expenses, and some tax considerations. In addition, we address the timing of the finalization of your divorce process and offer guidance to help you avoid post-divorce conflicts.
Can mediation work if we do not agree on everything?
Yes, mediation often begins when spouses do not see eye to eye on important issues. The mediator helps participants identify shared interests, explore possible solutions, and communicate more effectively. Many participants find that even partial agreement in mediation helps reduce conflict and provides a clearer path forward.
Can a divorce mediator help with parenting plans?
Yes, a divorce mediator can help parents create child-centered parenting plans that focus on communication and cooperation. The mediator assists both parents in identifying their children’s needs, discussing schedules, and developing agreements that reflect mutual understanding and respect. This approach encourages collaboration and helps parents maintain a constructive co-parenting relationship.
