It’s hard enough to be facing the end of your marriage. Now throw in a global pandemic and you’ve got a seriously surreal and terrifying situation on your hands.
You’ve been told to shelter in place, forgo socializing, and work from home. All these directives are disruptive and have one thing in common – put your life on hold! But if you’re like most of our clients, you’ve been thinking about divorce for at least 2 years - and possibly longer.
So now that you’ve finally gotten up the courage to take that next step and begin your mediated divorce, THIS happens - yet another facet of your life appears to be put on hold.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
During these unprecedented times, many service providers are scrambling to get online. And divorce mediators are no exception.
But it takes much more to effectively mediate a divorce online than simply obtaining the technology to do so.
Going through a divorce will likely be one of the most significant and stressful life events you will ever face – global pandemic aside. But finding a qualified online divorce mediator to help you shouldn't be the hardest part of it.
Be well, stay safe, and just know we’re here and have the skills and resources to support you - whenever you and your spouse are ready.
We are all in this together!
Joe & Cheryl
Between your demanding jobs, managing the house, and the kids’ homework and activities, there’s no doubt you’re strapped for time. Now take your already hectic life, and add a divorce into the mix.
Yikes!
You need a convenient way to get a divorce. But while the concept sounds appealing, there’s no way you’d even consider using one of those useless “quickie online divorce” providers.
What you really want to do is mediate because you know mediation will get you a fair and thorough agreement tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
But given everything else you're currently juggling, you’re not sure how you’ll find the time to get to the mediator’s office. Leaving you to wonder - is there any divorce option out there that combines convenience and quality with conflict resolution?
You use technology in your everyday life to make things easier. You can make a call, check e-mail, pay bills or surf the web from just about anywhere on the planet.
So why, then, when it comes to an alternative dispute resolution process for divorce like mediation, do you need to be sitting in the same room with your mediator and your husband or wife, hashing out the details of your settlement agreement?
You don’t.
Technology has advanced so much in recent years. And paved the way for us to offer a divorcing couple like you and your husband or wife an expedient, professional and cost-effective way to complete mediation. And we've been doing so for more than 10 years with great success, so we know it works!
By combining the convenience of online divorce with our high-quality divorce mediation services, our Mediation-On-The-Go program is the best solution for today's busy couples.
Learn more about it below!
Mediation-On-The-Go delivers all the benefits of standard mediation, while leveraging easy-to-use technology, to make your divorce as stress-free and efficient as possible.
Just as if you were mediating face-to-face, Joe, our mediator, will actively guide you and your wife or husband through our comprehensive divorce mediation process (in real-time) where he will help you identify, discuss, negotiate and resolve all of the issues required for your uncontested divorce including parenting plan (formerly known as child custody), child support, alimony, dividing marital property, etc.
But instead of the three of you sitting in the same room together, the two of you will be in your own separate location(s) and connect with Joe via conference call and our easy to use screen-sharing software.
In that type of Internet Divorce, you would essentially be sent to a website where you would input answers to a handful of basic questions and a very basic (and often incomplete) agreement would be generated.
Since no outside divorce professionals are involved, you would be left completely on you own with no assistance identifying, discussing, negotiating or resolving the necessary divorce issues (parenting plan, child support, alimony, division of marital assets and liabilities).
This can cause a number of problems for your divorce case and you risk making costly mistakes with far-reaching consequences.
Here are just a few of them:
On the other hand, with our virtual online divorce mediation program, we don’t send you to a website and leave you to resolve your issues on your own with no help or guidance.
Quite the opposite!
You and your spouse will work directly with our expert mediator and company founder, Joe Dillon. And he will actively guide you through the same comprehensive, dignified and high quality divorce mediation process he provides to clients who mediate in-person.
If you live in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington State, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota or Wisconsin, you can use our extremely popular and cost-effective Mediation-On-The-Go online divorce mediation format (also referred to as online mediation or virtual divorce mediation).
You’ll receive a comprehensive, high quality divorce mediation experience with an effective process that produces excellent results.
Busy Professionals – Maybe one or both of you travel extensively for work. Or your busy work schedule makes it all but impossible to mediate face-to-face. By using virtual divorce mediation, you can negotiate privately from any location of your choosing and eliminate the need to take time off or battle through unpredictable traffic, stressed out, trying to get to a mediation appointment on time.No matter what the reason, you and your spouse can enjoy all of the benefits of divorce mediation by mediating virtually. All you need is a phone and a computer or tablet with an internet access and you can connect from wherever you are.
Going through a divorce will likely be one of the most significant and stressful life events you will ever face. But finding qualified divorce mediators to help you shouldn't be the hardest part of it.
Lucky for you, it doesn't have to be!
If you and your spouse are ready to begin the divorce process and both want to mediate, take the next step and book an initial meeting for the two of you.
