What Is the End Result of Divorce Mediation?

The completion of your divorce mediation process will be the finalization of your divorce agreement. Your divorce agreement is a mutual and collaborative document which outlines all aspects of your separation and clearly states the terms you and your spouse have agreed upon.

The final agreement will then be submitted to the court to complete your divorce.

Your divorce agreement will address the following issues:

Division of assets- You and your spouse will each prepare a list of all assets you acquired as a married couple, and all assets acquired by each of you before your union. As your New York divorce mediators we  will work together with you to arrange an equal and fair division.

Alimony- Alimony refers to spousal support and is designed to supply the lower-income spouse with monetary support to live (over and above child support). Alimony is negotiable and an arrangement you are both comfortable with will be settled and outlined in your divorce agreement.

Child Custody- Together we will design a parenting plan. For your child’s optimal development it is important that you both continue to play a parental role. Your parenting plan can be as specific or as flexible as you like and will be something you both agree on together.

Child Support- Child support payments must be determined using the detailed guidelines specified by each state. In New York, child support is typically paid by the non-custodial parent and goes toward health insurance, all child related expenses, and education. After establishing your parenting plan and child custody arrangement, using the New York guidelines we will calculate the child support payments for your particular situation. The final payment amount decided will be one that you and your spouse agree on.
