Divorce Peacefully
A peaceful divorce is possible! In Pennsylvania, spouses may choose divorce mediation to:
- calmly discuss and decide divorce terms,
- divorce without setting foot in court,
- keep costs of divorce as low as possible.
In my office, about 9 in 10 divorcing couples who try divorce mediation promptly reach agreement on divorce terms that otherwise would be decided by a court:
- marital property distribution
- spousal support
- alimony
- child support
- child custody
During divorce mediation sessions, I provide both spouses with:
- legal information about Pennsylvania divorce,
- tax information related to divorce,
- financial information to consider in a divorce,
- information for divorcing moms and dads.
This helps husbands and wives make informed decisions for themselves and their family. Spouses are the decision-makers in divorce mediation—with assistance from their mediator.
Then, after all important divorce terms have been decided:
- I draft Pennsylvania legal documents, to make divorce mediation terms legally binding.
- I assist with filing a no-fault divorce, when both spouses are ready to get a Pennsylvania divorce decree.

Because a mediation divorce can be handled by one attorney, the cost of a mediation divorce in Pennsylvania is thousands of dollars less than each spouse hiring their own lawyer to fight in court.
Does each spouse need their own lawyer for divorce mediation?
