Assets…Divorce Mediation
Assets…Marital assets include everything of value accumulated in the course of the marriage except inheritances or gifts to one of you. Assets may be tangible property (e.g., real estate, pensions, 401k plans, businesses, bank accounts) or intangible property (e.g., patents, copyrights).
Divorce mediation entails identifying assets, then determining valuations and how to divide them fairly. “Fairly” means equitable distribution, but not necessarily equal distribution. Even in an “equitable distribution” state like New Jersey, the decision of how to divide your assets is up to you since you know your needs. However, by utilizing a divorce lawyer in Bergen County, NJ who is a trained divorce mediator, you will have guidance in your mediation in regards to figuring out what is equitable for both you and your spouse.

The benefits of divorce mediation are powerful and clear:
- Divorce mediation saves you considerable time and money.
- Divorce mediation makes you more committed to the agreement since it is you who works through it instead of your divorce attorneys.
- Divorce mediation gives you a sense of control over the process and allows you to maintain your dignity.
- You—not a judge—determine what is fair distribution of assets/liabilities, spousal support, custody, parenting time, and child support.
- Divorce mediation helps you and your spouse learn to talk to each other, enhancing communication for a more cooperative future relationship, especially in your working partnership as parents of divorced children.
- By applying the principle of fairness, divorce mediation maximizes the benefits for everyone and proportionally distributes the sacrifices.
