New Hampshire Divorce Mediation Lawyers
Divorce can be a challenging and emotionally draining experience for all parties involved. At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we understand the complexities of divorce and the impact it can have on your life. That’s why we offer comprehensive divorce mediation services tailored to meet your individual needs.
Divorce mediation is a collaborative process that allows couples to work together with a neutral third party, known as a mediator, to resolve issues such as division of assets, child custody, and alimony. Unlike traditional divorce proceedings, which often involve lengthy court battles and adversarial negotiations, mediation offers a more amicable and cost-effective alternative.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
Many people are hesitant to consider mediation because they believe it may be biased or unfair. However, this is simply not the case. Our mediators are trained professionals who remain impartial throughout the process, ensuring that both parties are treated fairly and their interests are represented.
Another common misconception about mediation is that it is a lengthy and complicated process. In reality, mediation typically takes less time than traditional divorce proceedings, allowing couples to reach a resolution more quickly and move forward with their lives.
The Benefits of Divorce Mediation
There are numerous benefits to choosing mediation over litigation. Not only is it more affordable, but it also reduces the stress and emotional toll associated with divorce. By fostering open dialogue and cooperation between parties, mediation can help facilitate a smoother transition out of marriage and into the next chapter of your life.
During meetings with a mediator, the parties review all issues relevant to the matter and address all the issues required in a Final Decree and Parenting Plan. Those issues may include but are not limited to the following: division of assets and debts, parenting issues, spousal and child support. During the meetings, the mediator will review financial information, parenting information, and other pertinent information to address a complete resolution of the disputed issues. Each party will have an opportunity to comment on the information provided and each party should work with the mediator to help structure an agreement. Mediation provides the parties with an opportunity to create a good working relationship and/or to improve communication.
Each divorce mediation agreement will look different, as no two couples are identical. But when reviewing these topics, a mediator will look at living expenses, health insurance, the amount of money that will be provided to the spouse or to support a child, how a home mortgage will be split, how debts will be divided, and how lines of credit will be allocated. The decisions regarding debt and lines of credit can be especially important when considering future purchases, including the ability to buy a house.
If, after meeting with the mediator, the parties are unable to reach agreement, either party can still proceed to court for resolution.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Considering Divorce through Court
Ignoring Alternatives to Court
One of the most common mistakes people make when seeking a divorce is assuming that going through court is their only option. While litigation may seem like the default choice, it often leads to lengthy and costly proceedings that can exacerbate an already difficult situation.
Underestimating the Emotional Toll
Divorce is inherently emotional, and navigating the court system can intensify these feelings. From contentious hearings to prolonged legal battles, the adversarial nature of litigation can leave both parties feeling drained and overwhelmed.
Overlooking the Financial Impact
Divorce proceedings can quickly escalate in cost, particularly when litigation is involved. Attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses can quickly add up, leaving both parties financially strained long after the divorce is finalized.
The Benefits of Divorce Mediation
Facilitating Open Communication
Unlike court proceedings, which often involve heated arguments and contentious negotiations, mediation fosters open dialogue between parties. This collaborative approach encourages both spouses to communicate effectively and work together to find mutually acceptable solutions.
Minimizing Conflict and Stress
Divorce mediation is designed to reduce conflict and minimize the stress associated with traditional litigation. By focusing on cooperation rather than confrontation, mediation can help couples navigate the divorce process more peacefully and with less emotional turmoil.
Saving Time and Money
Perhaps most importantly, divorce mediation is typically faster and more cost-effective than going through court. With fewer legal fees and shorter proceedings, mediation allows couples to resolve their differences efficiently and move forward with their lives.

At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we believe that divorce mediation offers a better alternative to traditional litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is divorce mediation?

How does mediation differ from traditional divorce proceedings?
Unlike traditional divorce proceedings, which often involve adversarial court battles, mediation encourages open communication and collaboration between spouses. Instead of having a judge make decisions for them, couples are empowered to find mutually acceptable solutions with the help of a mediator.
Is mediation legally binding?
Yes, any agreements reached through mediation are legally binding once they are formalized into a written agreement and approved by the court. This ensures that both parties are held accountable for upholding their end of the agreement.
