Huntington Divorce Mediation
Navigating the complexities of divorce can be a challenging and emotional experience. At our Huntington Divorce Mediation Center, we provide a compassionate and efficient alternative to traditional divorce litigation.
Less Money. Less Time. Less Stress.
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.
