The end of a marriage can be very painful. Formal divorce proceedings can add to that pain. Choosing mediation or collaborative divorce is a thoughtful and humane alternative to going to court. In both cases, the divorce is settled in consultation, under the guidance of a mediator who is also an attorney, or with each party having their own attorney in the case of collaborative divorce. Collaborative divorce involves an attorney-mediator trained in collaborative practice and affiliated with the VvCP.
Divorce mediation offers you the opportunity to work together to reach balanced and sustainable agreements. We carefully guide you through the process of drafting a divorce agreement, pension arrangements, alimony and home issues. We file the necessary documents with the court; you do not need to be present.
Divorce mediation is often more effective in personal disputes. It saves time and money and ensures that both partners are actively involved in finding solutions. Agreements reached through mediation are usually more durable because they reflect personal interests and desires.

How do ex-spouses deal with this and what can you expect from your ex-partner in this regard?
