How divorce mediation often works in Pennsylvania
These are the topics Pennsylvania couples most often cover in mediation.
Property and debts
Pennsylvania divides marital property through equitable distribution, often weighing each spouse’s circumstances. Your mediator can help you sort out what is marital and discuss fair options.
Parenting
Pennsylvania addresses legal and physical custody, and parents can agree on a schedule that fits their children. Mediation lets you build that plan together.
Support
Child support generally follows Pennsylvania guidelines, and spousal support or alimony may be part of the conversation. Your mediator can explain how these may apply.
Property settlement agreement
Many Pennsylvania couples use a property settlement agreement, often alongside a mutual consent divorce. Your mediator can walk you through what that may involve.
Video sessions let Lehigh Valley couples mediate around work and family schedules.
