Profile of a Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is an enlightened way to resolve financial and parenting issues when couples make the difficult wrenching decision to separate and divorce. The cooperative mediation approach seeks to minimize an adversarial process; a skilled mediator helps people center on the children’s best interests and to decide on allocation of marital assets and liabilities, family finances, and other issues that will become the basis for a formal separation agreement or a divorce document.

Profile of a Divorce Mediation
In order to qualify for a New York uncontested, "no-fault" divorce, both parties must agree to the divorce, division of all marital assets, debts, property, custody of the minor children, support for the minor children and spousal maintenance. In an uncontested divorce, the defendant can be served but if he or she does not answer the complaint in divorce then the plaintiff can seek a default judgment in divorce. The defendant can also waive his or her right to answer the complaint.
