Virtual Mediation is a process where parties can solve their problems without having a face-to-face conversation. All of the sessions are done through either a telephone call or private video conference (with each party in separate “virtual rooms”). Parties may send their necessary paperwork/documents via an online platform. Virtual mediation is the same as a regular mediation, except that it’s done in a virtual setting. The parties will never be forced to make decisions and will only make those decisions that are most beneficial for them and their families. Online Mediators will simply give suggestions and help parties in making the decision.
