"What are your views on divorce mediation?"

If you're thinking about a divorce, you should be thinking about divorce mediation. Mediation is a way of getting your divorce over more quickly, less expensively, and in a way that allows everybody -- both spouses and children -- to go on with their lives much more quickly and easily. It's a way of collaborating, getting win-win solutions, rather than the zero-sum game of divorce litigation.

Douglas Schoenberg is an accredited divorce mediator (NJPAM), attorney, practitioner member of the Academy of Family Mediators in Summit, NJ, and a member of Divorce Magazine's Advisory Board. He can be reached at (973) 912-5100. View his Divorce Magazine profile.
