WHAT TO EXPECT FROM VIRTUAL DIVORCE MEDIATION
Divorce is not a fun experience, and it’s never going to be. Separating from someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with is terrible, but the divorce process can make it so much worse.
Instead of going through courts and doubling up on lawyers, you can do your divorce a different way – your way – and still get all the legal help and representation you need.
It starts online and then migrates to online communication between you, your attorney, your spouse, and their attorney. You have our support for issues like marital asset division, alimony, child custody, child support, child visitation, marital debt, and more.
We have your back.
Our mediation package includes five hours of mediation to settle all aspects of your divorce, all the paperwork you will need to get divorced, including your petition for dissolution through your final judgment. This price also includes an attorney to file your paperwork and have your final judgment entered by a judge.
You will be divorced in the end. Unlike the other online form-filling websites, you will not end up with a stack of paper at the end; you will end up with signed divorce papers.
ISSUES THAT CAN BE SOLVED
THROUGH VIRTUAL DIVORCE MEDIATION
Alimony
Virtual mediation can effectively address alimony (spousal support). We’ll discuss the duration and amount of payments based on each spouse’s financial situation and contributions during the marriage.
Ultimately, the goal is to negotiate fair agreements that consider factors such as earning capacity, financial needs, and the length of your marriage.
Child Visitation
Through virtual mediation, we help parents discuss and establish visitation schedules that prioritize the child’s best interests.
A divorce mediation lawyer will assist in creating structured plans to accommodate parental schedules and foster healthy parent-child relationships.
Child Custody
Online mediation provides a platform to discuss and determine custody arrangements that promote the well-being of the child.
We skillfully guide parents in crafting parenting plans that outline responsibilities, decision-making authority, and visitation schedules, aiming to maintain stability and continuity in the child’s life post-divorce.
Dividing Assets & Debts
Couples can virtually negotiate the division of assets and debts acquired during the marriage.
Our divorce mediation lawyers facilitate discussions on equitable distribution, considering factors like financial contributions, property ownership, and future financial stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why do most couples hire a divorce mediation lawyer?
Most couples hire a divorce mediation lawyer to facilitate a smoother, more amicable separation process. A divorce mediation lawyer helps both parties communicate effectively, negotiate terms, and reach mutually beneficial agreements on issues like custody, support, and property division.
This approach is often less adversarial and more cost-effective than traditional litigation, reducing the emotional stress for both you and your soon-to-be ex-partner. Mediation lawyers will ensure all the legal requirements are met, helping you avoid lengthy court battles and achieve resolutions tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
Q2. Is divorce through mediation preferable to going to court?
In most cases, yes, divorce through mediation is often preferable to going to court. It is typically less contentious, more cost-effective, and faster.
Mediation encourages open communication and collaboration, allowing couples to create mutually acceptable agreements. Unlike court proceedings, which can be adversarial and public, mediation is private and focuses on the interests of both parties.
This process can lead to more satisfactory and sustainable outcomes, empowering couples to find solutions for their unique situations and potentially avoiding the emotional and financial strains of a lengthy court battle.
Q3. What should you avoid during virtual divorce mediation?
During virtual divorce mediation, we recommend limiting distractions and maintaining a respectful tone. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a quiet, private space for the meeting to minimize interruptions.
It’s also important to stay focused on the issues at hand, avoiding personal attacks or emotional outbursts that can derail the process. Additionally, try to avoid making decisions in haste or under pressure; take the time to consider your options thoroughly and purchase further mediation time if necessary.
Q4. What is usually the most difficult part of divorce through mediation?
It depends on your situation, but the most difficult part of online divorce mediation is often negotiating and agreeing on issues related to child custody and property division. These matters can be emotionally charged, making it challenging for couples to reach a consensus without conflict. Each party may have differing priorities and expectations, which can complicate discussions.
Additionally, addressing unresolved feelings or past grievances can hinder progress. A skilled mediator helps navigate these challenges, fostering constructive dialogue and guiding both parties toward compromises that are fair and sustainable.
Q5. Is online divorce mediation typically stressful?
We won’t lie to you: divorce can be stressful, painful, and emotionally draining, regardless of how you approach it. While online divorce mediation offers convenience and accessibility, it can still be tough.
However, many find that online divorce mediation offers a more relaxed atmosphere compared to traditional in-person meetings, allowing for greater control over timing and location. Experienced divorce mediation lawyers can also help alleviate stress by facilitating productive discussions and skillfully guiding parties toward mutually beneficial agreements.
