Finally Same Sex Marriage has come to New York: What we can offer

Civil Union couples can gain tremendous benefits from using divorce mediation to create divorce and parenting agreements.

 

Like divorce for other married couples, dissolving a Civil Union or same sex marriage can be costly in a traditional divorce. The process can drag out for months. There can be bitter fights over who gets the cat, the couch, and time with the kids. Divorce mediation stops the fighting and creates peace. Civil union partners can sit together in a room privately to work out the details of their seperation.

 

The result is less emotional distress for the couple and the kids. Divorce mediation helps individuals to work through the terms of the divorce in a peaceful process. It allows the final agreements to be more fair for all parties in involved.

    Other Servies:
  • Blended Families: Blended families have the highest rate of divorce. Mediating new roles, expectations and issues of conflict can help avoid commonly destructive forces between spouses and new family members.
  • Post-Marital Adjustments in co-parenting plans after a divorce.
  • Pre-Nuptial Agreements. With couples marrying later and multiple marriages, having a pre-nuptial agreement is a smart decision. And if handled poorly, can end a relationship
  • Pet Visitation Schedules. Don't forget your precious pets during divorce. They don't have to end up with one "parent." Instead, setting up a formal agreement about shared visitation can be as detailed as some people make for their children. For people who love their pets, putting your pet's interest first will make a better life for everyone.
