FAQ

How long it will take to do the Mediation and how much it will cost?

Each marriage has its own unique set of circumstances. The answer is that it really depends on you, your spouse, the complexity of the issues and how much everyone is able to compromise.  The Better Apart® approach to divorce mediation is that it focuses on finding the space between your needs and wants and the result is an agreement that leaves both parties feeling as satisfied and whole under your particular circumstances.

a note from gabrielle

Family Law Mediation is a practice near and dear to me. With extensive experience both in and out of the courtroom, I know that sometimes, litigation is necessary. But I also know that most of the time, it is not. Even if you are divorcing a narcissist, online mediation may be for you. 

My work is informed by my personal experience. I have always appreciated my parents, who were able to keep their divorce out of the courtroom, before mediation was a widely-known thing. Through their example and my years in divorce litigation, I have developed a mediation practice that can help bring you both to a set of mutual agreements that will be the guidepost to move through and beyond your divorce.

Divorce mediation is a great way to reach a reasonable resolution and avoid a costly divorce. There are many pitfalls to litigation that can be avoided by the divorce mediation process, but using a third-party neutral (the mediator), you get to maintain control over your family’s life. In my experience, I have found that an expensive divorce does not mean that you will have a better outcome. A drawn out and costly divorce may mean lost savings and a loss of control through your divorce.

I mediate remotely via live video chat using Zoom, Skype, or the platform of your choice. I utilize careful protocols to ensure maximum privacy for your family. You and your family will be treated with the utmost respect at all times through the divorce process.

Your mediation process will give you a clear roadmap forward for you and for your family to thrive and survive after divorce.

P.S. I understand that even when we might want mediation, sometimes, court is the only way. I have wonderful contacts in New York City and Boston that can help you if that’s the direction you wind up needing. If you’re not sure that mediation is right for you, schedule a screening call with me, and let’s figure out the best process for you and your family.

Reach a reasonable resolution mediating online with me and create an agreement that addresses: 

  • Finances after divorce
  • Custody
  • Parenting plans
  • Child support
  • Asset division and allocation
  • Alimony
  • Debt distribution
  • Pension Distribution
  • Health insurance

…and any other issue specific to your family!
