Divorce Mediation Services in New Jersey

If you're looking for a way to end your marriage without a long courtroom battle, divorce mediation may be the right path. As experienced divorce mediation attorneys in New Jersey, we help couples throughout Bergen County, including Englewood, Ridgewood, and Hackensack, reach fair, balanced divorce agreements through a more peaceful, private process.

A Smarter Way to Divorce

Mediation is an alternative to traditional litigation where a neutral third party—called a mediator—helps spouses discuss and resolve issues like property division, alimony, child custody, parenting time, and support. The process is voluntary and cooperative. No judge, no court hearings, just focused sessions aimed at agreement.


It’s not about who wins or loses. It’s about finding practical solutions that work for both parties—and most importantly, for your family.

Why Choose Mediation Over Court?

Many couples in Bergen County and across New Jersey are turning to mediation because of the clear benefits:


  • Lower cost: Fewer billable hours, no lengthy trial prep.
  • Faster timeline: Most mediated divorces resolve in a fraction of the time it takes to litigate.
  • Privacy: Mediation sessions are confidential—no public court record.
  • Flexibility: You control the outcome, not a judge.
  • Healthier co-parenting: Mediation supports ongoing communication and reduces conflict.


For those who want an amicable divorce or need to stay on good terms for their children, mediation offers a respectful and often more constructive route.

Guidance for Every Role in Mediation

At Jungblut Law, we support clients in two distinct ways:


  • As Your Divorce Mediator: We can serve as a neutral third party, guiding both spouses through discussions and helping them reach a written agreement.

  • As Your Legal Advocate in Mediation: If another mediator is involved, we can act as your consulting attorney—reviewing proposed terms, advising you privately, and ensuring you don’t give up legal rights unknowingly.


Our attorneys bring deep knowledge of New Jersey family law, strong negotiation skills, and a commitment to clarity and fairness. We understand what matters both emotionally and legally—and help clients get it right the first time.

What the Mediation Process Looks Like

Most couples going through divorce mediation in New Jersey can expect a process like this:


  1. Initial intake or consultation (joint or separate)
  2. Identifying key issues (property, custody, support, etc.)
  3. Working through issues over 2–5 sessions with a mediator’s guidance
  4. Creating a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or draft Property Settlement Agreement
  5. Legal review and filing – this is where consulting attorneys may step in to finalize terms and complete the court paperwork


The process is adapted to your needs. Some couples work quickly. Others need time. We provide the structure either way.

Is Mediation Right for You?

Mediation works best when:


  • Both spouses are willing to speak openly and compromise
  • There’s a baseline level of respect and communication
  • No one is hiding information or controlling the process
  • You want to avoid the stress, delay, and cost of court


Mediation may not be appropriate in cases involving domestic violence, severe power imbalances, or an unwillingness to participate in good faith. In those cases, litigation may offer the protection you need—learn more about our approach to contested divorce if you’re in that situation.
