If you and your spouse are willing to work amicably, mediation resolves everything a litigated divorce does — at a fraction of the cost.
The Cost of Mediation vs. Litigation
No hidden fees, no open-ended hourly billing. Here is how the numbers compare for a typical Long Island divorce.
*Most mediations are completed within the retainer. Occasionally a mediation runs a few hours beyond it when substantial assets — pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs — are involved. With children under 21, the retainer starts at $4,500.
*Combined hourly total for each spouse’s divorce attorney. **Based on the average cost of divorce attorneys in New York State plus required court fees.
How Divorce Mediation Works
Six steps, from your first conversation to a finalized Judgment of Divorce — without a single court appearance.
Free Consultation
Both spouses meet with us together — mediation is unbiased, so we never discuss your divorce with only one party present. We answer your questions and quote a flat retainer.
Schedule Your Sessions
You set the pace — as quick or as measured as you both want. Six Long Island offices and evening appointments make sessions easy to fit around work and family.
Mediate Every Issue
A neutral attorney-mediator explains New York law on each issue — custody, support, the home, retirement — and facilitates the conversation until you reach agreement.
Agreement Drafted
We draft your Stipulation of Settlement — the binding agreement that captures everything you’ve decided, in the form the court requires.
We File All Court Paperwork
Every ancillary document — including the Findings of Fact and the Judgment of Divorce — is prepared and submitted to the court by our attorney-mediators.
Judgment of Divorce
Your divorce is finalized without you ever setting foot in a courtroom — and without the strict deadlines a judge would impose.

Benefits That Divorce Mediation Offers

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce Mediation
What is the difference between divorce mediation and divorce litigation?
Divorce mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps you and your spouse work through disagreements and reach a mutually agreeable settlement. Litigation, on the other hand, involves a judge making decisions for you after hearing arguments from both parties.
How long does the mediation process take?
The length of the mediation process can vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved. However, many couples are able to resolve their divorce in just a few sessions, making it a much quicker option than traditional litigation.
Is mediation only for uncontested divorces?
No, mediation is available for both contested and uncontested divorces. Even if there are disagreements, mediation provides a platform for resolving conflicts in a less combative manner than litigation.
Do we both need an attorney for mediation?
While having an attorney isn’t required, it’s highly recommended that you each consult with your own attorney to ensure that the mediation process is fair and that your individual rights are protected.
What happens if we can’t reach an agreement through mediation?
If you are unable to come to an agreement during mediation, you still have the option to pursue divorce litigation. However, many couples find that mediation provides a more positive and productive path to resolution.
How much does divorce mediation cost?
Divorce mediation is typically much more affordable than litigation. Costs vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved, but mediation generally results in significant savings in attorney and court fees.
