New York Divorce Mediation Intervention

By Janelle Burnett


Whenever a marriage ends, it is always tough on everyone involved. People have investments in the lives of others, and when a split occurs, it affects many people outside the realm of the family. Decisions need to be made about assets and custody arrangements (if children are involved) and planning needs to be made for the future. Many couples get too overwhelmed by all the processes that proceedings of a separation bring about. Allowing a New York divorce mediation professional to handle the process can alleviate the stress involved with dissolution of a marriage.

There are many couples who decide to call it quits after several years of marriage. Other couples realize they have gone into their marriage prematurely or are not ready to settle down. Still, other couples cannot seem to get along and realize they will be happier apart than together.

Most arbitrators try to pave the way for a smooth process; however, there are always some issues that will arise. An arbitrator has to help couples come to a decision about how to split their assets. This is never easy and is especially hard if the couple is not on good terms. Unfortunately, most couples that head towards a permanent split find it hard to dissolve the marriage amicably.

In addition to how the property is divided, you will have to consider living logistics. This is hard for many couples, especially if both are attached to their home. However, someone will have to relocate in order to proceed with the breakup. There are different ways to handle the logistics part of the settlement and of course, it is always much easier when one of the parties agrees to move out. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, and many couples forgo a speedy process.

Material possessions are not easily divided between the couple. Both parties may feel a sense of entitlement to a particular item. Possessions need to be divided equally and fairly, and without a third party to help make this happen, dividing up the possessions may be impossible.

Retirements and pensions are the other big items that require negotiation. It seems logical that couples should split everything equally, and in many states, that is how it is done. However, it is not like that everywhere. Many partners do not want to surrender any of their retirement assets and will argue and fight that point relentlessly.

Possessions are another hot topic among couples who are splitting up. Many couples have accumulated material possessions including cars, property, fancy toys and other big ticket items. Determining how to split these items up is difficult, and although they may eventually work it out, both couples feel a sense of loss.

New York divorce mediation is needed when couples can no longer work their separation issues out in an amicable manner. When there is an intercessory party helping to sort out the hard issues that result out of the dissolution of marriage, there is much less strain and suffering. The process may not be easy or painless; however, allowing someone to intervene would get the parties one step closer to resolution.
