When a relationship ends, but marriage was never part of the picture, it can be difficult to know where to turn. We help unmarried couples across Williamsville, Amherst, and Buffalo resolve child custody, parenting time, property division, and shared financial matters with calm, respectful legal guidance.

What is Divorce Mediation?

Mediation is a collaborative process where you and your spouse work with a neutral third-party to resolve your divorce without going to court. You make the decisions, not a judge. It’s confidential, affordable, and designed to minimize stress for both parties.

How the Process Works

  • Free Initial Consultation
  • We start with a no-pressure consultation to understand your situation, answer your questions, and explore whether mediation is the right fit.
  • Mediation Sessions (In-Person or Virtual)
  • Sessions take place in a private, respectful setting—either at our Williamsville office or online. We provide a calm, neutral space to communicate and move forward.
  • Resolving Key Issues Together
  • We’ll help you work through parenting schedules, asset division, and spousal support—always guided by fairness and your family’s needs.
  • Final Agreement
  • Once you've reached an agreement, we prepare a clear, legally sound document that can be submitted to the court if needed. It’s designed to reflect your priorities and protect your future.

Benefits of Mediation

Mediation offers a respectful, cost-effective alternative to traditional divorce. It’s typically faster than going to court and keeps the decision-making in your hands—not a judge’s. Couples who choose mediation often find the process less stressful, confidential, and better suited to co-parenting and future cooperation. It’s an approach that prioritizes clarity, informed decisions, communication, and lasting resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

    In divorce mediation, both spouses meet with a neutral third-party mediator to reach agreements on parenting, property division, and support. It’s typically faster, more private, and more cost-effective than litigation.

  • Is divorce mediation right for us if we don’t agree on everything?

    Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally four years, but acting quickly can preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
