Divorce / Separation / Custody

Mediation of Divorce, Separation, Child Support & Custody                   VA, MD, DC Metro Areas

Family law and family relationship disputes typically make up over 70% of the cases we handle.  As experienced, certified family mediators, we guide people through the process of developing divorce settlement agreements and separation agreements, including all aspects of child custody, support and parenting, as well as property division and spousal support.  We also deal with post divorce custody, parenting and support issues.  If parties do not reach resolution, parties can choose to have us resolve them through arbitration, rather than reverting to litigation.  Either process can avoid expensive attorney fees and the lengthy process of litigation in court. 

While resolving the substantive issues is a significant goal in the mediation process, addressing the relationship aspects is also very important, especially where there are children involved and continuing parental interaction will exist. Our hope is that as part of the process, in addition to resolving the substantive matters, the participants would also leave with better communication and conflict resolution skills and without bitterness between them.

Although we have family mediators certified through the Judicial Council of the Virginia Supreme Court, we can work on divorce, separation, custody,  support, and other family law matters with parties from any jurisdiction, in the Washington, DC Metro area, including Virginia, Maryland, or beyond.  While located in downtown Fairfax City, we have served clients throughout the area.  

Please call us with any questions or to arrange an initial consultation.  We can evaluate your situation and recommend a specific approach that best suits the nature of the conflict and all parties' needs and beliefs. The parties then decide for themselves how they wish to proceed. 

We do not provide legal advice. If you want legal advice on issues involved in your dispute you should consult an attorney.  When legal issues are involved in your dispute, the mediator can provide legal information, such as applicable laws concerning the matters at issue and how courts generally apply them.

Guiding people through conflict to a lasting peace with the outcome is our primary focus.  
We will endeavor to provide the services you need to help you get there.
