Contemplating divorce in Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads, VA? Both parties agreeable to divide everything
and sell your home? Can you get along during the divorce and real estate selling
process?
If yes, then Mediation or Collaborative Divorce may be the
best avenue to get through an unpleasant situation and selling your Virginia Beach or Hampton
Roads home.
Mediation means the couple agrees to use one "hopefully"
neutral mediator. The Mediator does not
give legal advice or be an advocate for either side.
The choice more couples are now making is Collaborative Divorce. Collaborative divorce involves the use of
lawyers for both sides who agree from the beginning to work with each other to
develop a fair outcome for everyone which includes division of property and
selling of your home or any other real estate owned. The collaborative divorce team may include Virginia
Beach financial professionals, your REALTOR®, child specialists, or other
professionals both spouses may agree upon.
The main point is they engage in meaningful dialogue which will bring
the process to faster resolution and saving both parties unneeded grief, money,
and selling your real estate quickly.
Just like a real estate transaction where you choose your own
separate closing attorney, you benefit from having your own personal legal representation
that is committed to rapid and proper settlement. The Lawyers for both sides ensure legal
stipulations are satisfied.
Why is this good?
The most obvious - save thousands of dollars including real
estate decisions.
Negotiate settlement without courts involved
Keeps communication open
Develop shared solutions which best benefit both parties
If children involved, keeping their best interests in the
forefront
Maintain control of the divorce process
Will this work for you?
If you can agree to disagree, keep children first, listen,
plan for the future, and be ethical then it can work.
So with contested divorces potentially averaging in excess of $25,000.00,
collaborative divorce may be a sensible option in Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads. Unless you are Paul McCartney and have an extra 48 million and some change think about collaborative divorce. Consult your attorney before making any
decision.

provides value to you.
