As part of the divorce process, you and your spouse must come to an agreement on several important decisions. You will need to decide how to split assets or move forward with a parenting plan. When you are unable to come to an agreement on any or all of these decisions, mediation can help.
Mediation uses a neutral third party who is trained to calmly address specific areas and help negotiate an acceptable agreement to both parties. They do that through structured sessions on specific topics like custody & visitation and spousal support. The mediator’s job is to help you negotiate agreements that are acceptable to both parties. So that you can finalize your divorce without having to pursue a costly and lengthy legal battle.
What happens if mediation is not successful?
Mediation is not always successful. Both spouses have to want to come to an agreement, and the mediator cannot force an agreement. However, mediation can avoid lengthy fights and unnecessary trauma when both spouses work together.
No. Court filing fees and other court or third-party charges are separate from the Paperwork Only package.
You are responsible for paying the applicable fees directly as part of the filing process.
Yes, to the extent required to complete an uncontested divorce.
Because this is a self-directed filing package, you are responsible for coordinating any documents your spouse must review or sign and for completing the required filing steps.
If your spouse does not cooperate or disputes important terms of the divorce, your matter may no longer qualify as uncontested.
No. With the Paperwork Only package, Express Divorce prepares your personalized New York divorce documents and provides filing instructions, but you are responsible for submitting the papers to the court.
If you want assistance with filing and signature coordination, the We File For You package may be a better fit.
Potentially. A divorce involving children can still be uncontested if you and your spouse have already reached agreement on the required issues, including custody, parenting time, and child support.
The Paperwork Only package does not include legal advice or attorney representation.
If you need advice about your rights, settlement terms, property, support, custody, or another legal issue, you should choose an attorney-assisted option.
