Buffalo Divorce Negotiation Lawyers

Benefits of Using Negotiation in Divorce Disputes

The benefits of using negotiation to resolve divorce disputes as opposed to costly litigation in court are outlined by the lawyers at the Venzon Law Firm in Buffalo.

The process of a divorce in New York can take years but it does not have to. If you and your spouse want a say in how your property is divided and your children are taken care of, you may want to consider negotiation instead of litigation..

The Role of Lawyer in Negotiation

Negotiation is a way for both parties to meet with their counsel and create a divorce plan together. The point of mediation is to open lines of communication and problem-solve divorce issues.

The lawyer will ask you to share your ideas about where your children should live, visitation with the other spouse, and the type of financial support you and your children will need. You will also discuss how your assets and debts should be divided.

Negotiation takes less time than a fully contested divorce proceeding and will be less expensive also. When an agreement is drafted, the negotiator/attorney will send it to the other party for review.

Mediation Does NOT Work

Insults, coercion and threats will not be allowed in divorce negotiation. Mediation frequently subjects a spouse to be intimated by the other’s behavior and is inappropriate for a victim of domestic abuse.
