Divorce Mediation in NJ and Illinois:

equitable_mediation_is_a_life_saver.jpgGoing through a divorce will likely be one of the most significant and stressful life events you and your spouse will ever face.

It’s not only devastating emotionally, but the divorce process itself, if not handled properly, can be drawn-out, costly and damaging to everyone involved, including your children.

But if you live in NJ or Illinois, you can make sure that doesn't happen by mediating your divorce with us.

If you do, your divorce can be efficient, cost-effective and child-focused. So you can heal, move on and be the good co-parents your kids are counting on you to be.

I'm glad we chose to work with Joe and Cheryl instead of lawyers. Equitable Mediation was definitely a more civilized way to go.

No Other Divorce Option Has The Advantages Mediation Provides:
  • Mediation enables you to complete your divorce in less time, with less stress and at a lower cost - without lawyers.

Allowing you to peacefully end your marriage in months instead of years, while saving thousands on your divorce.

You’ll make decisions as mom and dad, not plaintiff and defendant when using mediators for divorce. So you can both be actively involved in your children's lives.

  • Mediation allows you to create an agreement you both find fair.

Neither spouse can “win” at the expense of the other because the terms of your settlement must be acceptable to both of you.

Dual-Income Couple with Minor Children

You’re both devoted to your children and have great respect for each other as parents, even though the spark has faded in your marriage. You want your divorce to be peaceful, fair and focused on the needs of your kids so you can remain actively involved in their lives and be great co-parents after your divorce is final.

You've worked hard to raise your children and get to where you are financially. But now the kids have grown up and you and your spouse have grown apart. Between paying for your kids' college education and retirement being closer than you'd like to admit, you want to preserve the wealth you've each worked so hard for so you can spend your golden years comfortably.

Stay-at-Home Mom + Sole Breadwinner

Each of you has played a vital role in raising your children and financially advancing your family to where you are today. Now that you’re divorcing, you want to make sure your settlement acknowledges the contributions each of you made to the marriage, inside and outside the home, without getting short-changed financially in the process.

Short-Term Marriage with No Kids

When you got married a few years ago, you never thought you’d find yourself facing divorce. And even though you've only been married less than 5 years, it doesn't mean splitting up hurts any less. You want your divorce to be fair, but don't want it to be full of drama, cost a fortune or take forever to complete.


Whether you work inside the home or outside of it, have minor children, grown children or are child-free, have been married a short time or have been together for many years, mediation is the smartest way to divorce.
