THE FOCUS IS ON RESOLVING YOUR CONFLICT
If you are involved in a divorce or other conflict that could escalate to court action, consider mediation. At NYC Dispute Pro, we concentrate on helping you resolve all types of disputes through mediation. Mediation is an affordable, efficient and early alternative to the stress and expense of litigation. It is an informal and completely private process in which a professional mediator helps all parties in conflict to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. In contrast to litigation, mediation is cost effective and faster, saving the parties to the dispute a great deal of time, money and emotional difficulty. In mediation the parties, with the assistance of the mediator, design the resolution to their conflict for themselves.
We offer alternative dispute resolution services for a wide range of disputes, ranging from divorce and family law issues (such as parenting time schedules, property settlements and child support) to employment issues, as well as business-related conflicts, neighborhood problems and community disputes. Regardless of the conflict that brings you to NYC Dispute Pro, our goal is to help you design and reach the best resolution quickly and efficiently as well as reduce your stress and costs.
During mediation we will explain your options and work with all parties to develop a strategy based on your unique situation. We take the time to keep you informed and help you understand the process so that you can make confident decisions.
In addition to resolving your current conflicts through mediation, arbitration, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, our purpose is to help you avoid future problems. We can help you develop the communication and conflict resolution skills you need to prevent future conflicts from occurring. In many cases this method of conflict resolution allows for the kind of healing necessary in relationships that are likely to continue into the future.
If you are involved in a conflict, we encourage you to explore the practical and time-tested benefits associated with mediation. We invite you to learn more about the mediation process as defined within this web site. We now offer distance, teleconference and online mediation for your convenience. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss your options and to help you achieve a more timely, effective and efficient resolution of your dispute.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS:Every couple with children has a common interest. For children, the divorce itself may not present the greatest risk to their well-being. Children are smart and resilient. They can understand that mom and dad have difficulty living together and they can adapt to separate residences.
Conflict is what destroys them. Pulled in two directions and raised in continuing parental conflict, the child may ultimately act out, engage in addictive behaviors, or become antisocial. Later, as they near adulthood, the child may realize that they were used as pawns in their parents conflict and grow up to be not only alienated from their parents, but also unable to engage in meaningful relationships of their own. Consequently, parents have tremendous common interests in stopping their conflict and keeping it stopped. During the course of family mediation, the mediator will explain and teach good communication skills to their clients so that these skills can be used for future problem solving. Using the mediation process as their example, parents can change the way they communicate. They can remove the children from the middle of their fighting and reduce the overall level of conflict in their lives to the benefit of the entire family, especially their children.
At NYC Dispute Pro we are committed to helping you craft a working agreement that will not only settle your dispute as quickly as possible, but will also give your entire family a chance to heal in the best possible way.
