Parent Coordination & Divorce Mediation


  Parent Coordination is a process whereby the Parent Coordinator, appointed by a Judge, assists separating couples with problem solving, communication and decision making regarding the logisitics and struggles of becoming a two-household family. Parent Coordination assists in reducing the amount of tension and stress associated for all family members, especially the children. 

 

Divorce Mediation is a process for separating couples to develop an agreement over how custody, support, parenting time, and distribution of assets and debts will be shared upon completion of the divorce, or separation. Couples should have an attorney review their agreement and file the divorce in court. Mediation can reduce the likelihood of your decisions being made via litigation in court.

Mediation  -  Coordination     Vs.     Litigation

 

Divorce mediation and Parent Coordination have become increasingly well-known and widely accepted in New Jersey.    Mediation & Coordination mean different

things to different people. We know from years of research that when you compare couples who have problem solved their divorce with couples who go the traditional adversarial divorce, the mediation couples are more likely to be satisfied with the process and the results.  Parent Coordination is much newer in New Jersey,

however other states have provided ample literature to suggest the

benefits are similar to that of Divorce Mediation. 

 
It is likely to take less time, you are probably  spending less money, and are less inclined to need  to go back to court later. The main advantage is that  it keeps
you and your spouse in the decision making  position of your own divorce.
That can make all the difference in your recovering from your divorce and moving on with your life. Mediation and Coordination  can allow the two of you to get
through your divorce with less stress and conflict than you may
experience in a traditional adversarial courtroom setting. 
 

If you have an attorney, please speak with them about the benefits

of utilizing Mediation and/or Coordination.
