Avoid Courtroom Battles—Mediate Your Property Division
Dividing real estate in divorce doesn’t have to mean expensive appraisals, endless motions, and conflict. Through mediation and collaborative legal support, you stay in control of who keeps what, using fair market values and practical needs. Most of our clients achieve property agreements without ever setting foot in court—saving time, stress, and often tens of thousands in legal fees. Mediation means the outcome is designed for you, not imposed by a judge.

Real Estate in Divorce—Your Questions Answered
Do we need to sell our house if we divorce?
Not always. Options include one spouse buying out the other’s equity, refinancing the mortgage, or selling and dividing the proceeds—Michelle will explain each approach based on your situation.
How is property equity divided in New York?
New York uses equitable distribution, which means property is divided fairly (not always 50/50). Mediation helps both parties agree on what’s truly fair for your needs.
Can one lawyer handle the house transfer for both of us?
Michelle can act as a neutral mediator and attorney to prepare agreed documents, but both parties have the right to independent legal review before signing, ensuring fairness and compliance.
What about the mortgage—how do we remove a name?
We help coordinate with lenders for refinancing, mortgage assumption, or release. Our office handles all paperwork and communications to ensure nothing is missed.
We own rental property or business property—can you help?
Yes, we assist with all types of real estate: homes, rentals, commercial, or business properties, ensuring proper division and documentation for each.
