Resolve Your Family Issues like Divorce and Child Custody by Divorce Mediator in

Posted by NY Divorce Mediators on January 23rd, 2019

Divorce is typically stressful and has the potential to be messy and challenging, especially when you have kids. In the usual divorce proceedings, it is the court that will decide on child custody, and this can be devastating to either parent when they cannot get what they want. You can avoid such family issues with help from a Long Island divorce mediator. Mediation can be an option if you want to settle your break up and child custody issues by yourselves, while being guided by a knowledgeable and trained mediator, a neutral third party that may or may not be a lawyer.

The decision to hire a Long Island divorce mediator should be up to both you and your ex-spouse. In short, you should agree on the matter. Mediation can be a quieter and less expensive option to an actual divorce process, but be sure to get the right mediator to guide you. Look up seasoned mediators, check their credentials and verify their experience and success rates, and ask for references. The right experts will provide simplicity throughout the process by making sure that you are well-informed and aware of all the practical solutions and meaningful options available to you.

An experienced Long Island divorce mediator has the experience, knowledge, expertise, and background necessary to help you and your ex to efficiently and quickly obtain or finalize your divorce. Consider an attorney-mediator who is a registered member of the New York Bar, so you can be confident on their professionalism and knowledge, as well as their ability to understand and be thoughtful of the feelings and situation of you and your children.

The law requires the Long Island divorce mediator to conduct all calculations required under the New York Maintenance Guidelines, but you may consider deviating under the guidelines. Calculations conducted under the Child Support Standards and Maintenance Guidelines will give you the framework for when you need to talk about the financial obligations related to child support, alimony, and maintenance. Mediators will encourage you and your ex to put the best interests and needs of your kids first. They can help you create a plausible visitation schedule that should benefit all parties.
