How do I find the best mediator in New Jersey for my situation?
When you’re looking for a mediator, please understand that there are mediators who don’t have to have any specialized training. This is really important to appreciate the distinction between someone who understands the divorce and family laws as a family lawyer, and somebody who really just became a mediator because they thought it was interesting. So, my suggestion to you is to go and ask those tough questions. Schedule an initial consultation, bring a list of questions having to do with your very specific divorce and family-law issues: Child custody, alimony, distribution of assets, anything pertaining to your house, a business, any visitation issues that you might have, financial, other types of questions. And go in and be specific.
