Mediation/Settlement

Mediation and Settlements in Long Island

Nassau County Divorce Lawyer

Mediating a divorce or legal separation usually affords the parties the least contentious path toward resolving end-of-marriage issues, not to mention the fastest and most economical one. Spouses typically each have legal representation but rather than appearing in court, they agree to appear before a mediator who may prove invaluable in helping them arrive at acceptable terms on matters such as: equitable distribution, spousal support, custody, and visitation. If mediation is not feasible, settlement of the divorce or legal separation brokered by the parties' attorneys is still generally preferable to litigation.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being at the end of your marriage but prefer to avoid the pain and cost of litigating all of the issues, a Long Island family law attorney at The Virdone Law Firm, P.C. can help.
