Divorce Mediation on Staten Island

Free Divorce Workshop

We are proud to announce that our 31st annual Free Divorce Workshop will be held at our Law Office on Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM! While admission is free, seating is limited so you must call our office at 718-979-5200 and reserve a seat!

Mr. Leininger, who has appeared on the Phil Donahue Show, the Today Show, CBS Eyewitness News, Sally Jessey Raphael and other national television and radio programs, will explain your rights and options in terms of divorce and legal separation.

We will cover the grounds for Divorce, how alimony and child support are calculated, how assets and debts are divided up, how the Court decides custody disputes, use of Divorce Mediation to keep legal fees under control, and much more! If you are considering divorce or separation, you don't want to miss this Workshop! Call(718)979-5200 now to reserve a seat!

Since 1994, we have worked with many couples going through the divorce process. We believe that divorce mediation can help you and your spouse dissolve your marriage with dignity and with as little harmful effects as possible on you and any children of the marriage.

Mr. Leininger’s 30 years of Family Law experience has shown how easily a family problem can spiral out of control when people rush to court and how much damage can be done to everyone in the family when that happens. Divorce mediation offers you another option - let us help you find another way to resolve your family law issues. Please take a few minutes to review the practical information and helpful hints contained on this website.

As impartial mediators, we can help you and your partner resolve everything you might have taken up in court through meaningful, productive conversations with one another. We will not taken anyone’s side, nor be anyone’s lawyer, but we will discuss with you how the legal process might handle your issues if you chose to go to court. We will help you focus on what you need to resolve in order to move forward with your life and we will share with you how other couples have handled similar problems. When you create your own solution, tailor-made for your own family, we will then prepare a proposed Settlement Agreement for the two of you.

WHY CHOOSE DIVORCE MEDIATION?

Separation and divorce are among the most painful and disruptive events an individual and family can experience. The problems are both financial and emotional, deeply touching all members of the family.

Mediation aims at reducing this tension, not increasing it! With the help of the mediator, couples negotiate their own settlement and learn the techniques for resolving future differences. Mediation is for couples who want to retain control over the decisions that affect their lives and don't want their children caught in the middle.

What issues are addressed?

  • Parenting Arrangements
  • Division of Marital Assets
  • Spousal Support
  • Child Support
  • Tax Implications

What are the benefits of divorce mediation?

  • Make your own decisions.
  • Private and Confidential.
  • Facilitates long-term communication.
  • Promotes cooperation and consensus.
  • Benefits children by reducing conflict.
  • Agreements are tailored to participants' needs.
  • Saves time & money.

Mediation is not just for couples who already know how to cooperate! Divorce Mediators show people how to work together productively in spite of their anger!

During mediation other professional services are sometimes needed. Our office maintains a wide network of consulting experts including accountants, financial planners, pension experts, career counselors, psychologists and social workers.

If money is really tight, we also offer extremely low-cost Divorce Mediation by our non-attorney mediator, Rachel Leininger, MSW. Click on the left side link entitled "Non-Attorney Mediation" for more information about Ms. Leininger's low-cost Divorce Mediation services.

If Divorce Mediation sounds like a better alternative than expensive and emotionally damaging litigation in court, why not call our office at (718) 979-5200 and schedule a 30 minute Divorce Mediation Orientation session. The cost is only $100 to meet with either attorney Leininger or attorney Karp and if you and your spouse hire us within 30 days, we will even refund the $100 fee! The initial consultation fee to meet with our non-attorney mediator, Rachel Leininger, MSW is only $50 and if you hire her within 30 days as your divorce mediator, the $50 will be refunded. What have you got to lose? And remember, no one will pressure you to decide right on the spot whether you wish to hire our firm as your Divorce Mediator! To the contrary, we will encourage you and your spouse to go home and think it over!
