We’re excited to share some big news: Jay Mota has been invited to join the Board of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals (NYACP), and he has enthusiastically accepted. This is more than just a professional milestone. It’s a chance to make a real difference for New Yorkers who are navigating one of life’s most challenging transitions: divorce.
Jay has always been passionate about helping people navigate complex financial decisions during divorce. Now, as a board member, he can help more people and couples discover options that are collaborative, constructive, and empowering.
What the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals Does

NYACP also helps its members grow through networking, training, and raising public awareness of the benefits of Collaborative Practice. By connecting members locally and globally through the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals—which includes more than 3,000 members in 19 countries—NYACP ensures that people and couples in New York have access to the best practices and support available.
Why Collaborative Divorce Matters
Divorce is hard. In traditional litigation, it can feel even harder because of high conflict, long timelines, and emotional stress. Collaborative divorce offers a different path. It is rooted in cooperation, clear communication, and teamwork.
Here’s why more people are choosing it:
- They avoid high-conflict court battles
- They protect their privacy and relationships
- They make better financial decisions with guidance from a collaborative divorce financial advisor
- They benefit from a team-based approach, including attorneys, divorce finance professionals, and mental health experts
It is about making divorce as manageable as possible while protecting what matters most: family, finances, and dignity.
Jay Mota’s Role on the Board
Jay’s work on the NYACP board is focused on helping people understand that alternative divorce solutions exist and that they do not have to face divorce alone. He is passionate about connecting individuals with the right professionals to ensure they have the support and clarity they need.
Many people only discover collaborative divorce after a stressful, costly court battle. Jay wants to change that. By educating the public and spreading awareness, he is helping couples and individuals in New York learn about their options early—so they can make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
While on the board, Jay plans to lead initiatives in education and outreach. He wants to ensure that more New Yorkers are aware of the alternative divorce solutions available to them. He also hopes to show how support from a collaborative divorce financial advisor can make a real difference.
