What Does a Divorce Mediator Do in New Jersey?

Posted by Vincent C. DeLuca | Jan 28, 2025 | 0 Comments

Divorce mediation is becoming a preferred method for couples seeking an amicable resolution to their marriage dissolution. Understanding the role of a mediator can help you decide if this method of divorce is appropriate for you.  

Divorce Mediation

The Role of a Divorce Mediator 

A divorce mediator is a neutral third party who facilitates communication and negotiation between divorcing spouses. The goal is to help the couple reach a mutually agreeable settlement on various issues, such as property division, child custody, and support, without the need for a contentious court battle.  

Key Functions of a Divorce Mediator 

  1. Facilitator of Communication 

  • Mediators create a safe and respectful environment where both parties can express their concerns, needs, and desires. They ensure that each party has a chance to speak and be heard. 

  1. Guide the Process 

  • The mediator sets the agenda for mediation sessions, guides the discussions, and keeps the process on track. They ensure that all relevant issues are addressed methodically. 

  1. Neutral Party 

  • Mediators remain impartial, without taking sides. Their role is to facilitate dialogue and help the couple find common ground, not to make decisions or provide legal advice. 

  1. Problem Solver 

  • By helping couples identify underlying issues and explore various options, mediators assist in generating creative solutions that meet the needs of both parties. 

  1. Drafting Agreements 

  • Once an agreement is reached, the mediator drafts a detailed document outlining the terms. This agreement can then be reviewed by each party's attorney and submitted to the court for approval. 

  1. Reducing Conflict 

  • Mediators help reduce the emotional and financial strain of divorce by encouraging cooperation and reducing adversarial interactions.
