Mediation

Helping families in conflict make informed decisions together with the help of a mediator.

Mediation as an alternative to prolonged and potentially contentious litigation has long been accessible to wealthy couples seeking to solve family conflicts. NYLAG brings free mediation to people with limited financial resources. We believe that mediation works best when parties make decisions knowing their rights and obligations.

NYLAG pairs every party to mediation with a pro bono attorney who gives advice and reviews the agreement before the parties sign. At the close of a successful mediation, the parties have a signed agreement, which NYLAG can then file with the court to become an enforceable judgment.

81%

of couples who have mediated divorces and family cases with NYLAG either reached an agreement or reconciled
