Dr. Dorottya Farkas, LL.M. Attorney-at-Law
Resolving disputes related to divorce, parental responsibility, child support, division of assets, and other sensitive matters. Our mediation office supports you throughout this process. Divorce by mutual agreement is possible even without a divorce litigation attorney. We aim to show that instead of often dehumanizing legal procedures, there are faster, more humane and workable solutions.
Planning to divorce and unsure where to start? We can help. What makes our office special is that our mediation work is backed by legal experience and courtroom knowledge. The earlier we begin working together, the higher the chance of reaching a settlement. Our goal is a civilised process, within a reasonable timeframe, and as cost-effectively as possible.
Divorce is not only a legal procedure—it is also a difficult life situation. As an attorney, my primary goal is to help my clients resolve divorce-related issues, whenever possible, out of court, within a short time, and in a way that is reassuring for all parties. I assist with drafting divorce-related agreements and provide legal representation in divorce by mutual agreement.
Resolving financial and property matters is a key element of divorce. My aim is for the parties’ agreement to be clear, legally sound, and workable in the long term. As an attorney, I support the preparation of agreements on the division of marital property—primarily striving for out-of-court, fast, and predictable solutions.
In mediation, the goal is not to “win a case”, but to make life a little easier for the people involved. A mediator helps you make decisions about the essential issues that affect your life—rather than having the court decide for you. Prevent your relationship with the other party from deteriorating further: use mediation support to reach an agreement.
I provide personalised and easy-to-understand legal advice on divorce-related questions—whether family law, real estate matters, or other connected issues. My goal is for clients to clearly understand their rights, options, and likely consequences before making decisions, so they can decide calmly and with confidence.
The mediation process always starts with a preliminary consultation. This is the first meeting between the mediator and the client. Here you can talk one-on-one about matters you would not mention in front of your spouse/partner.
In mediation there is no judgment. You do not have to prove you are right. With a mediator, you can reach an agreement faster than in a courtroom—even if divorce litigation has already started. Divorce by mutual agreement—instead of a court lawsuit.
Litigation, doing it on your own, or mediation? The decision is in your hands. Divorce with a mediator starts with a shared intention to agree. That is followed by a personal one-on-one meeting, then the mediation sessions and the signing of the settlement.
Comprehensive information for clients whose ongoing criminal case has been referred to a mediation procedure. Important: we do not conduct criminal mediation proceedings; we provide preliminary information only.
The mediator’s task is to help resolve the conflict. The mediator supports and guides the settlement discussion through questions. They help the parties develop their agreement. At Mediátorpont, we work to make this process easier for you.
Mediátorpont was founded in 2013 under the leadership of Dr. Dorottya Farkas, LL.M., lawyer-mediator, to help resolve conflicts related to divorce, child support, inheritance, or business matters.

“I noticed that litigation had become a way of life. My lawyer’s number is among the ten I call most often. I got used to going to court every 3–4 months. We don’t go on holiday, and the child no longer attends English lessons. The money is needed for lawyers, experts, fees, appeals. Every day I think about what will happen at the next hearing… I’m exhausted.”
“People there (in court) even forget what their own best interest is… They end up in an unfamiliar environment, everyone sits there in robes. Sit here… not there… Go over there… stand up… say this and that… In the end, I couldn’t even say what my name was.”
“People usually get fed up with property division lawsuits after about a year and a half. They’ve had enough. These cases require serious documentary evidence, and it’s very difficult to prove the origin of separate property. They choose settlement when they realise how long these lawsuits take and how much it will cost them.”

Dr. Dorottya Farkas, LL.M. I am a family-law specialist, attorney-at-law, and mediator, focusing on divorce matters. There are many ways to divorce. Our office primarily aims for mutual agreement and a humane closure, but if needed, we also provide separate legal representation.
Legal consultations can also be held online, so Hungarian clients living abroad or farther away can also use our services.
Before divorce, an attorney consultation is strongly recommended so that your divorce can be resolved peacefully as soon as possible. In litigation, I work to ensure that, whenever possible, a fair and proportionate settlement is reached between the parties.
In every family-law matter there is an opportunity for a peaceful closure—whether it is divorce, a property dispute, or issues concerning a shared child. During mediation, I help clients minimise harm and conclude the matter with as little resentment as possible.
Client meetings are available only with a prior appointment. If you cancel within 24 hours before the scheduled time, the full fee must be paid. For appointment scheduling, please contact us here:
