For many of the same reasons that we argue that divorce mediation is the best way to get divorced, we also maintain that now is a great time to train to become a divorce mediator. And for mediators looking to make the leap from training to practice, Westfield Mediation, LLC offers a coaching and mentorship program to help you launch your own divorce mediation business.
Over the years, we have explained why divorce mediation is a better alternative to litigation. The process moves more quickly, costs less, and puts the divorcing couple in control of their future. As a result, mediation offers a less stressful path to divorce than time-consuming, expensive, adversarial litigation. Moreover, right now, as we have pointed out before on our site, there is an extreme judge shortage in New Jersey, leading to significant backlogs at court and even more drawn-out litigation proceedings.
All of these factors have resulted in an increased reliance on divorce mediators. Consequently, this is a great time to learn to be a mediator. The 40-hour divorce mediation training course is offered throughout the year by both the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators and the NJ Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
Many graduates of these training programs find that they need some help in translating their new knowledge into practice. That is where we come in. We provide coaching and mentorship to new mediators, providing as much assistance as needed for launching a business or adding to an existing one. We help you establish a practice and create materials for your clients. We can also review your early drafts of Memoranda of Understanding. In addition, we offer opportunities to observe our divorce mediations so that you can have real-world experience before you are out on your own.
It is a great time to use divorce mediation and to become a trained divorce mediator. We are happy to help you on this journey.
