Peaceful, affordable divorce mediation for modern families
Online divorce platforms promise cheap and easy solutions, but often deliver slapdash results, leading to costly complications down the road. And when divorce involves lawyer-driven litigation, it’s expensive, drawn out, and emotionally devastating – breaking families apart.
But that doesn’t have to be you.
Through our divorce mediation service, you’ll avoid these pitfalls and secure your future.
It’s divorce done right.

Chris
California“From guiding us through the issues to ensuring our agreement was thorough, to the kindness they showed us during our time working together, Joe and Cheryl didn’t let us down.
We are grateful for everything they did to make a highly emotional and very personal event easier on us and our family.”
Adam
Illinois“We saved thousands of dollars compared to friends of mine who used lawyers to ‘fight it out,’ and came out of mediation with a clear plan that we both agreed to – and our actual court hearing was a breeze.”
Susan
New Jersey"Both Joe and Cheryl found a way to keep the conversation moving forward while bringing just enough light heartedness to keep the tension down.
They can take a difficult topic and process and make it very manageable, a skill that only experience can provide."
Kate
Washington“[Cheryl and Joe’s] knowledge and expertise was outstanding and their compassion and encouragement was greatly appreciated. They made a stressful, difficult process easy to navigate and manage.”
David
New York“Joe and Cheryl made this entire process painless. We’ve been able to separate in a friendly way that keeps our relationship intact, and most important, our children happy!”
Mike
Pennsylvania“The child-focused, non-confrontational approach to divorce; professionalism; and creative solutions offered by Joe Dillon confirmed why we made the right decision by choosing Equitable Mediation.”
