Divorce mediation
At Gomperts, Braun & McDermott, LLC, we encourage people to consider mediation. Mediation is a type of alternative dispute resolution that allows each party to reach divorce settlement agreements amicably. Each issue that must be decided upon in a divorce can be reached through mediation including child custody, alimony and property division. The state of New Jersey recommends that divorces are finalized within a year of filing. If settlement agreements cannot be reached through mediation, we proceed toward trial dates within a year's time to ensure the process is as efficient as possible.
An attorney from our firm can help you create a settlement that works for you. Contact us to schedule your consultation.
