October 27, 2011 by Joseph F Dillon · Comments Off
Equitable Mediation Services announced today that it will now be serving divorce mediation clients in Bergen County, New Jersey in the towns of Paramus, Saddle Book and Hackensack, expanding the number of it’s New Jersey office locations to 12.
Managing Partner and Equitable Mediation founder Joseph Dillon said “I know I speak for everyone here at Equitable Mediation when I say that we’re pleased to be able to assist divorce mediation clients in an office location that’s convenient for them during their time of need and by expanding into Paramus, Saddle Book and Hackensack, we’re able to do just that for Bergen County couples.”
Until recently Equitable Mediation Services focused mostly on Central NJ and the lower part of Northern NJ with office locations in Bedminster, Bridgewater, East Brunswick, Iselin (Metropark), Morristown Princeton, Short Hills, Red Bank and Roseland. With the expansion into Bergen County and the towns of Paramus, Saddle Book and Hackensack, clients in those areas will still be able to obtain the benefits of mediation in NJ but in a location that’s much closer to their home. This is especially convenient for those individuals who may live in New Jersey but work in New York City which many Bergen County resident do.
“Our clients come to us from all over the state and up until recently, for those individuals who phoned us seeking mediation services in Paramus, Saddle Book or Hackensack, the best we could do was offer them a meeting in one of our other office locations which for some, wasn’t convenient. Having these three new office locations is going to make it easier on our clients in Bergen County to get the services they need from a firm they can trust. We’ve been mediating for a long time and divorce mediation is our full time profession. Using an unknown firm without Accredited Professional Mediators just isn’t something clients should want to take a chance on.”
Because the laws of the State apply to all clients who are eligible to file for divorce in New Jersey, Equitable Mediation Services is able to service clients no matter where they live. Adding three new Bergen County office locations is in line with the Equitable Mediation philosophy of reducing the stress of an already uncomfortable situation by being where the clients need divorce mediation services the most.

Affordable Divorce in NJ?
October 14, 2011 by Joseph F Dillon · Comments Off
The idea of an affordable divorce in NJ may seem like a contradiction but it’s one that’s on the minds of many of the clients who call the offices of Equitable Mediation Services. And while everyone’s definition of “affordable divorce in NJ” means something different, divorce mediation is not only a less expensive way for divorcing couples to work through all of the issues they need to, it’s also the most thorough. During divorce mediation sessions, we work through the issues and come to agreements in the areas of parenting, equitable distribution, child support and alimony / spousal support and draft a complete agreement that covers everything. Many people are surprised to find out that yes, mediation does cover all topics required for you to both reach a settlement and yes, Accredited NJ divorce mediators have an extensive knowledge of the law and can successfully guide you through the process just like a lawyer would.
The truth is, your divorce can truly be as affordable and simple as you wish to make it but the choice is squarely up to you. Now are there couples who wish to prolong the fight and hire lawyers and spend hundred of thousands of dollars on their divorce only to wind up with the same exact result as if they mediated? Certainly but you don’t need to be one of them. Just because you’re looking for an affordable divorce in NJ it doesn’t mean that it has to be cheap like those $399 Internet specials you see where they send you a book of forms and you have to figure out what your agreement should look like and not all the topics you need addressed are covered. Let me save you the $399 and tell you – it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Sadly many couples think their only choice is either do the Internet way of hire lawyers but thankfully, there is a third option for an affordable divorce in NJ and that is divorce mediation. There’s an old saying about being penny wise and pound foolish and no truer words were spoken when it comes to divorce. Do you really want to take the chance on an Internet special when hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake? The tax consequences alone could wind up costing you more than the typical mediation and if you made a mistake on those forms and had to go back to court a few years down the road but now had to hire a lawyer to assist you? Do you know how much that is going to cost you? Plenty more than the cost of divorce mediation in NJ I can tell you that.
