South Jersey Divorce Mediation Attorney Christopher Musulin - Musulin Law Firm, LLC
The adversarial court process is well-suited for criminal cases, car accidents, and contract disputes. However, it is often ill-suited for resolving disputes among family members. In many cases, the adversarial process tragically and irretrievably destroys the ability of either parent to maintain a civil relationship after the divorce, which is essential if children are involved.
Mediation, as an alternative to a litigated divorce, maintains as its highest value the integrity and preservation of a quality, post-divorce relationship between the parties, whether for the benefit of the children or for the dignity of the people involved.
Mediation is a type of alternative dispute resolution, or ADR. It allows you and your spouse to resolve issues such as child custody, child visitation, property settlement, and equitable distribution of property while never getting near a judge.
Mediation sessions last no more than two hours. The sessions typically total three or four. In the over 20 years Mr. Musulin has handled divorce mediation cases, he has rarely had a case exceed more than five sessions. The only thing you have to do in order to try mediation with Mr. Musulin is both agree to come at the same time for the first consult. In his offices, he will guide you accordingly from that point and it is up to his skill and expertise to move you both forward through the process. That's why you hire him.
The sessions are confidential and devoted exclusively to problem-solving. They do not provide an opportunity for either party to vent his or her emotional agenda or engage in recriminations. The reality is that New Jersey has been a no-fault divorce jurisdiction for over 30 years. This means that whatever caused the end of your personal relationship has no bearing on how we address the important business issues. The mediation sessions are strictly business.
