Skilled Family Law Attorneys Advocate for the Rights and Interests of Clients Pursuing Mediation of Family Law Issues in New Jersey
When needing to resolve issues in divorce or other family law matters such as child custody, spouses or exes often find that they can resolve their disputes simply by sitting down, talking out their differences, and reaching a mutually acceptable compromise or solution. Courts allow couples to resolve their disputes and reach agreement on a number of family law issues, such as equitable distribution, alimony/spousal support, or child custody, and parenting time arrangements. Many couples find it useful to engage in mediation in an attempt to resolve outstanding family law disputes. In many cases, courts will require couples to attempt to resolve issues through mediation, before the court will hear the case and resolve the matter for the parties.
Even though mediation is aimed at having you and your spouse, partner, or ex reach an agreement on your dispute, you can still greatly benefit from having experienced legal representation in your corner to help you understand your legal rights and options and to advise you as to what may be fair or reasonable outcomes from mediation.
If you are considering or are being required to participate in family mediation, contact Team Law today to schedule a confidential case evaluation to talk to an experienced New Jersey Mediation lawyer about your right and options and to learn more about how our firm can help you secure a favorable outcome to your mediation.

Benefits of Seeking Mediation of Family Law Matters
In many divorce and child custody proceedings, the court may require the parties to proceed to mediation prior to the court holding a hearing or trial to resolve the parties’ dispute, as experience has frequently shown that couples or parents are able to reach a mutually-acceptable resolution of their disputes through mediation. Even if you aren’t being required to go to mediation in your family law matter, you should strongly consider having you and your former partner or spouse try mediation to resolve your dispute. Mediation of a family law dispute can have several benefits over going to trial, such as:
- Quicker resolution: Waiting to resolve your family law dispute through trial can take considerably more time than reaching a settlement through mediation, as it can take weeks or even months to complete discovery or other pre-trial matters and then obtain an open trial date on the court’s schedule. Instead, outstanding family law matters can be resolved by the parties often with only a few hours or a few days of mediation.
- Lower expense: Litigation is an extremely expensive prospect, as you will need to pay for attorneys to conduct discovery, respond to motions, and then argue on your behalf at trial, in addition to the expenses that must be incurred to prepare your case for trial. By more quickly resolving your dispute in mediation, you can avoid many of these costs.
- Alternative solutions: Reaching a settlement through mediation can allow you and your partner or spouse to reach alternative or creative solutions to your dispute that a court would likely not consider or cannot consider.
- Outcome remains in your control: By asking the court to decide your dispute, you open yourself to an outcome that is completely out of your control and that you may not be happy with, even if the result is largely in your favor. Conversely, resolving your dispute through mediation allows you to control the outcome and ensure that it is one you are happy with and/or can agree to

Frequently Asked Questions about Mediation in New Jersey
In some family law matters that are filed in court, the court may direct you and the other party to try to resolve your dispute in mediation before the court will hear your case; this is because family law matters can often be resolved through negotiation or mediation, which frees up the court’s resources to hear disputes that can’t be amicably resolved. In any event, you should strongly consider trying to resolve your family law dispute through mediation, as it typically proves quicker and less expensive than going to court and allows you to control the resolution of your matter, rather than submitting to the decision of the court.
Although mutually agreed upon settlements are always preferable in family law matters, if you and your spouse or partner cannot reach an agreement, it is always still possible to submit your dispute to the court, which will issue a ruling resolving your dispute.
