How Does Mediation Work in Brooklyn, NY?

Mediation is a structured, private process where a neutral mediator helps both parties communicate and reach practical agreements. Sessions are available in person at the Park Slope office or remotely. Here is how the process typically works:

  1. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your situation and explore options.
  2. Both parties meet with mediator Rachel Fishman Green, Esq., or Michael Henry, or Melina Maresca, in a neutral, confidential setting, in person or via video.
  3. We focus on specific issues, such as parenting time, finances, or property.
  4. Agreements reflect both parties' needs and interests, and might be similar to what a judge would order, but can also address issues which would not be discussed in court, and also reach conclusions different from the plain vanilla law.
  5. A written agreement is drafted that reflects what both parties have decided together.
  6. We can draft and file uncontested divorce papers with the court, for you, if you both agree that you want us to.

Mediation vs. Court: Why Brooklyn Residents Choose Mediation

Court proceedings can be lengthy, expensive, and emotionally draining for everyone involved, including children. Mediation keeps decisions in your hands, reduces conflict, and produces agreements that tend to last because both parties helped shape them. ReSolutions Mediation & Collaborative Services has supported Brooklyn families through this process for over 30 years.
