Divorce Mediator Alexandria | Why to Choose Mediation in VA

A divorce mediator in Alexandria can help you reach a peaceful, mutually agreeable resolution for your divorce. Hiring a divorce mediator can keep you out of court and save you thousands of dollars, and a lot of time and stress.

Divorce Mediation

Mediation uses a neutral third party to facilitate communication between the two parties and help them negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution.  Many find that mediation is preferable to litigation, which is often a stressful, emotionally draining, and financially demanding process.

During litigation, individuals are limited by the rules of evidence, court procedures, time, and the patience and experience of the judge. On the other hand, mediation has no rules of evidence, strict time limitations, or a judge who has to decide the issues. Instead, the two parties work together to reach a solution in a respectful and peaceful manner.

Tailored Agreements

Unlike  a court ruling, where the judge is bound by the law with respect to what he or she can order, mediation allows you to come to agreements that are uniquely tailored to your family. While litigation is appropriate in some cases, a divorce mediator gives you full control over the outcome for your family.

This gives you and your spouse the opportunity to come up with creative solutions that work for your family’s unique situation. Once you enter the courtroom, the judge (a complete stranger) will decide how to split assets and determine the fate of your family.
