Divorce Mediation Attorney in Northern Virginia

Most people think of divorce as a harsh, difficult, confusing, and ugly process. Sometimes this is the case, but it doesn’t have to be. Calm and amicable settlements can be reached without going to court when two spouses seek to negotiate the terms of their settlement between themselves—not aggressively in court.

Mediation is commonly considered to be one of the better and less destructive options versus divorce litigation. In general, litigation is more expensive, more aggressive, and is conducted before a judge in order for a decision to be made. Mediation tends to be less costly and is conducted between the two clients by a trained attorney mediator without a court hearing. Each spouse usually retains his or her own lawyer, who counsels them.

Through this process, assets are disclosed, evaluated and a fair distribution of finances and property is determined. Attorney mediators also assist in determining how the family can be restructured if children are involved. The entire process is often less damaging than litigation, especially with regard to custody.

Bypassing the Courtroom Process

Litigation is an aggressive method, and negative emotions such as anger and stress can run high throughout the process as a result. Once accusations and blame are thrown about in court testimony, those things cannot be “unsaid.” The damage can impact your child’s life long after graduation from high school.

In addition, you can reach an enforceable agreement in mediation that is a creative solution to your family’s particular issues. Judges are bound by the Virginia code and case law; in mediation, you are not bound by the same restrictions and you may be able to find a solution that better suits your family.
