A client writes: "My ex-wife and I have an exceptional post-divorce relationship. We believe the work we did with you helped us avoid contentious litigation. Our children have benefited from our peaceful, cooperative relationship, thanks to the work we did with you. Thank you! KH"

From another: "Thank you for the preliminary paperwork. I enjoyed meeting you and am grateful for your calm and kind approach to this process. [My husband] and I are dedicated to making this change in our lives with dignity and consideration. Thank you for helping us accomplish our goal. AP"

And: "I'm glad we used Lieberman Mediation for our divorce. Mr. Lieberman made the process light, easy and comfortable. The whole process saved us a lot of time and money. DM"

Through divorce mediation, you will experience...
· guidance to a mutual and fair agreement package;
· a safe environment where you can express your needs;
· education for the decisions that you need to make;
· mediation of any areas of disagreement, with an
    offering of alternatives for you to consider;
· empowerment to make decisions for yourselves, concerning:
    - Dividing your assets and debts
    - Parenting arrangements and responsibilities (custody)
    - Child support
    - Spousal support

The majority of my clients reach agreement on all issues in 3 to 5 sessions of 2 hours each..

Especially when there is a lot of anger, mediation is more fitting than hiring attorneys to do your negotiating.

Mediation in a nutshell...

Divorce is basically a two-step process: (1) writing your Separation Agreement that includes all of the decisions related to the divorce, and (2) having the court declare that the marriage is terminated. These two steps are usually separate from one another. Mediation covers the first step: helping the two of you make the decisions related to the breakup.

I meet with both of you, together, in my office. My role is to guide you through a process to help the two of you come up with fair decisions regarding (a) dividing your assets and debts, (b) making parenting arrangements for your children, (c) determining child support, and (d) working out spousal support (if any). We identify each of the issues, talk about alternative solutions, and then work out mutually agreeable solutions.

The result of the mediation is a document that I write, called a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It is usually around 10 pages long, detailing the decisions that you have made. This MOU becomes your Separation Agreement - a contract signed by you in front of a notary public. I encourage my clients to share that document with their attorneys, who will review it with you and suggest alternative wording to help clarify and make it more enforceable

My mediation sessions tend to last around 2 hours, and we usually meet once per week until all decisions are completed. The majority of my clients who have children need between three and six sessions. However, we remain very flexible regarding the timing of the sessions.

You are not required to use attorneys in order to get divorced, but I do encourage my clients to have attorneys. The role of the attorneys usually is narrowed to consulting, reviewing, and managing the paperwork. The majority of the work - the decision-making - is done with your divorce mediator. So, paying one mediator instead of two attorneys cuts your costs in half. And, because the mediation process is much more efficient, your costs may be cut by half again. More importantly, it is the nature of the mediation process that the arguments, the fights, the threats, the game playing come to an immediate halt. The goal: To help the two of you move on with your lives in a peaceful and financially-secure manner.
