Divorce Mediation gives couples the option to plan their futures in an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect.  Our highly-trained mediators are certified and operate under the auspices of the NYS Unified Court System.  With their assistance, we can create an agreement that is custom-made for your family, your finances and your future.

In addition to being strictly confidential, our program:

Saves time – mediations are scheduled quickly and the process is uncomplicated.

Economical – divorce mediation fees are based on a sliding scale fee structure.

Keeps you out of court and in control – mediation allows the separating couple to make decisions that are best for them and usually does not require a court appearance.

Focuses on success and not on failure – you set realistic goals as a family and work together to accomplish them.

Preserves Relationships – mediation can help preserve an amicable relationship that is in your best interests and those of your children.

What Does It Cost?

The cost of divorce mediation at ACCORD is generally far less than alternative paths to divorce.  There is an initial intake fee of $50 per person, and an hourly mediation fee based on the couple’s combined incomes.

Each party receives a signed, notarized Agreement, and one copy for an attorney to use in preparing your Divorce/Legal Separation Agreement.  The fee is $250 for preparation of the Memorandum of Understanding, and a legal fee paid is to the attorney who files the Divorce with the Court.
