“I didn’t think two people who could barely speak to each other could figure anything out together. But we did over Zoom, from our own homes, which honestly made it easier. Jerry kept things calm when they could have gone sideways. We walked out with an agreement, and I walked out with my sanity.”

“My ex and I had one goal: don’t let this ruin our kids. Jerry helped us actually do that completely online, no courtrooms, no war, no bills that would have emptied everything we saved. My daughter still has two parents who can be in the same room. That’s everything.”

Why Choose Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation provides a practical alternative to courtroom divorce.

Couples who choose mediation can often:

Avoid lengthy and expensive court battles
Resolve disputes faster than traditional divorce litigation
Maintain privacy throughout the process
Reduce emotional stress for themselves and their children
Maintain control over financial and parenting decisions

Mediation focuses on cooperation and practical solutions instead of conflict.

How Divorce Mediation Works

Divorce mediation follows a clear and structured process.

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a consultation to discuss your situation and determine whether mediation is appropriate.
Mediation Sessions

During mediation sessions, both spouses work through financial and parenting issues with the mediator facilitating productive discussions.
Settlement Agreement

Once agreements are reached, a written settlement agreement is prepared outlining all terms of the divorce.
Finalizing the Divorce

The agreement is then used to complete the uncontested divorce process in New York.

Divorce Mediation Cost

One of the biggest advantages of mediation is that it is typically far more affordable than litigating a divorce in court.

Divorce mediation services with attorney Jerry Kugelmas typically begins at $3500, depending on the complexity of the issues involved.

This cost is often significantly lower than the expense of contested divorce litigation, which can quickly escalate into tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
