Because of this, there are many mediators offering their services who lack the requisite background and specific knowledge of the important legal issues you are facing. When in this situation, it is important to select an experienced family law attorney and one who has been \u201capproved to act as a mediator\u201d by the New Jersey Supreme Court. To meet the Court standard for such qualification, a mediator must have completed a minimum of 40 hours in a Court-approved mediation course, possess a minimum of a bachelor\u2019s degree, and have five years of professional experience in the field of expertise in which they are to conduct mediations.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the issue is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/custody-parenting-time.html\">custody<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/custody-parenting-time.html\">time-sharing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/alimony.html\">alimony<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/child-support.html\">child support<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/equitable-distribution-of-property.html\">distribution of property<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/equitable-distribution-of-property.html\">investments<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindabury.com\/retirement-pension.html\">retirement accounts<\/a>, or any other issue encountered in a divorce, a mediator who has the specialized training and experience is best equipped to assist the parties in resolving their differences.
