Family Matters. Experience Counts.
At Cooper Family Law, we understand that not every divorce has to be a battle. Many couples are seeking a more cooperative and private way to separate, one that prioritizes respect, privacy, and long-term stability. Our divorce mediation services help individuals and families in Bucks County, PA resolve separation and custody disputes without the strain of litigation.
We guide spouses through the mediation process with skilled facilitation and legal oversight, ensuring that all agreements are enforceable under Pennsylvania law. Whether your goals involve child custody, asset division, or ongoing support, we help you reach outcomes that are legally sound and mutually acceptable.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where divorcing spouses work with a neutral mediator, often with legal advisors present, to negotiate the terms of their separation. Unlike courtroom proceedings, mediation gives couples more control over timing, outcomes, and cost.
Pennsylvania does not require mediation, but courts often encourage it, especially in cases involving custody or minor children. In Bucks County, mediation can be an effective tool to avoid prolonged litigation while preserving family relationships and reducing emotional and financial stress.
We support clients in both self-initiated mediation and court-referred mediation, ensuring that each agreement is properly documented and aligned with legal standards.
Divorce mediation is not limited to one issue; it can cover the full scope of your family law matter, including:
We help clients create detailed parenting plans that reflect the best interests of the child under 23 Pa. C.S. §5328. Topics may include:
Legal and physical custody arrangements
School placement
Holiday and vacation schedules
Communication agreements
Mediation allows couples to fairly divide marital property in line with Pennsylvania’s equitable distribution law (23 Pa. C.S. §3502). This includes:
Homes and real estate
Vehicles and personal property
Retirement accounts and pensions
Shared business interests
Mediated agreements often address:
Child support under the state’s formula-based guidelines (23 Pa. C.S. §4321)
Spousal support and alimony, with consideration of income, needs, and marriage duration (23 Pa. C.S. §3701)
All mediated outcomes are written into binding legal documents and reviewed to ensure enforceability by the court.
We proudly assist mediation clients from all areas of Bucks County, including:
Newtown
