MEDIATION SERVICES FOR FAMILY LAW DISPUTES

Resolving family law disputes can be emotionally challenging and complex, especially when children are involved. After decades of litigating cases related to divorce, child custody, paternity, and contested adoptions, Anthony B. Marchese has dedicated his practice to offering a healthier, more collaborative approach: Mediation.

Mediation empowers families to make their own decisions. Instead of having a Judge impose a solution that may not suit either party, Mediation allows Couples, Parents, Guardians, and Individuals to work together toward an agreement. This process encourages open communication, mutual respect, and creative problem-solving, leading to outcomes that better reflect the needs and interests of everyone involved—especially the children.

Anthony B. Marchese believes that reaching an amicable agreement is far healthier for all parties. Through Mediation, each participant retains decision-making authority, ensuring that the final resolution is one they have shaped themselves. This approach not only reduces conflict but also fosters a sense of ownership and satisfaction with the outcome.

As a Mediator, Attorney Marchese focuses on finding common ground and guiding families through constructive negotiations. His goal is to facilitate dialogue, clarify issues, and help parties identify solutions that work for everyone. Rather than dictating terms, he supports families in making their own decisions, ensuring that the process remains fair and balanced.

Mediation is particularly effective in Family Law cases, where emotions often run high and relationships are at stake. By prioritizing cooperation over confrontation, Attorney Marchese helps families avoid the stress and uncertainty of Courtroom battles.
