Smarter Divorce Mediators Patricia Gillard Esq. and Robert E. Hornberger, Esq.
Smarter Divorce Mediators Patricia Gillard Esq. and Robert E. Hornberger, Esq.

LONG ISLAND, NY (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- Frustrated with seeing families torn apart, and their finances depleted by the time-consuming, expensive and adversarial divorce litigation process, two successful Long Island, NY divorce attorneys recently created a firm to take the expense, time, and combative nature of divorce out of getting divorced in Nassau County and Suffolk County in New York and are supporting this with a new website: http://smarterdivorcelongisland.com/.

Traditional divorce litigation tends to pit one divorce attorney and their client against the other, which just drives up the expense, the time involved and causes a great deal of stress and pain within the family. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Post this

The attorneys, Robert E. Hornberger, Esq. and Patricia Gillard, Esq., formed The Smarter Divorce to help Long Island, NY couples legally divorce through an innovative, low-stress, low-cost and speedy solution known as Divorce Mediation. Divorce Mediation resolves a couple’s divorce challenges through a proven process resulting in a better quality of life for both spouses and their children. The comprehensive solution puts control of the divorce process in the couple’s hands rather than the court’s or expensive lawyers, enabling the couple to define the terms of their divorce and save time, money and stress of their divorce.

“We were working day-in-and-day-out with couples whose divorces should have been simple,” Patricia Gillard said. “They both wanted to end their marriage, they got along and they agreed on most aspects of their divorce. Unfortunately, because traditional divorce litigation is an adversarial process, it tends to pit one divorce attorney and their client against the other, which just drives up the expense, the time involved and causes a great deal of stress and pain within the family. It doesn’t have to be this way.”

“Divorce litigation is often very destructive to the ongoing relationships and communication of the family,” Robert E. Hornberger agreed. “In many cases, particularly if they have children together, the divorcing spouses are going to be in each other’s lives for a long time to come. It’s better for them, and their children, if they can keep the lines of communication open between them. Divorce Mediation, the way we practice it, enables this.”

Divorce Litigation requires both spouses to hire separate attorneys, who then “fight” against each other to get as much as for they can for their client at the expense of the other. Each lawyer’s objective is to “win” for their client at any cost. They have no motivation to be concerned with their opponent’s well-being or how the family will communicate when the dust clears. This process is adversarial and does not encourage honest, open communication between spouses and can be especially devastating for the couple’s children.

Divorce Mediation is a very different approach to ending your marriage than the common approach of Divorce Litigation. While Divorce Litigation is an adversarial process that pits one spouse against the other, Divorce Mediation is a cooperative process that enables the spouses to work together to resolve the practical matters involved in their separation so that they can each move forward with their lives with no regrets.
