Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
mediation
my wife and i are calling it quits after
almost six years of marriage. we've
agreed to be civil and remain on a
friendly basis for the sake of our
child. we decided to give the
mediation a whirl to save money.
how do we go about finding one? do
we need one between the two of us
or do we consult separate ones?

Re: mediation
Have you consulted with an attorney yet? I strongly suggest you do. Divorces don't need to be expensive but trying to be cheap on the divorce can lead to expensive bills in the long run. Paying a little for an attorney now can save you a ton of money in the future.
Re: mediation
Mediators are normally lawyers who understand matrimonial law. A mediator can not be the attorney for either side of a divorce. You should pick a mediator and arrange to meet with him or her.
You can find a mediator by call the county bar association.
