Post Divorce/Separation & Parenting

Create the best plan for your family's future.

When couples decide to end their legal marriage or civil union, formally separate, or want to formalize parenting agreements, mediation is an opportunity to collaboratively make the numerous necessary decisions rather than working through attorneys or depending upon the court. Typically, mediation is less costly and may take a shorter amount of time. Notably, MPNE also focuses on future circumstances and approaches to avoid possible conflict. Many couples learn new problem-solving skills and perspectives that carry over into their newly defined relationship.


Mediators cannot give legal advice but rather flag circumstances in which parties may benefit from the advice of mortgage consultants, financial analysts specializing in divorce couples, family counselors, and/or attorneys that are needed to advise on a particular complicated situation.


Simply, our specialized background in divorce and post-divorce issues, including parenting, facilitates both the divorcing couple and their children to move forward based on well thought out agreements.

Coming To An Agreement Starts With Mediation

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am interested in mediation to help sort out our divorce agreement. I am not sure if my partner/ex-partner will participate. What should I do?

    When you contact Mediation Partners New England, we suggest how best to approach your partner/ex-partner. One option is for you to share our contact information and website with your partner/ex-partner and to encourage him/her to call. Another option is for you to send a note introducing the mediator, after which MPNE will follow up with a phone call to your partner/ex-partner.

  • Who usually pays for mediation?

    This varies.  Responsibility for payment may be couples splitting the cost equally, one person paying the total cost, or something in between.  Payment responsibility is determined before the initial mediation takes place.
