Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about mediation in France and how we work.
Can I really do this 100% virtually?
Yes. We use secure video conferencing so both parties can mediate from home or anywhere with internet access. No travel required.
What if my spouse doesn't speak English?
Our mediation is designed for English speakers. If both parties need interpretation, we can recommend qualified interpreters to support the process.
Can mediation agreements become binding?
Yes. Once you reach a mediation agreement, you can work with a local attorney to formalize and file it with the appropriate authorities to make it legally binding. We refer all legal drafting and court filing matters to qualified local attorneys.
How much does mediation cost?
$995 per person for a single 3-hour mediation session. Most couples reach complete agreements in one session, making it far more affordable than litigation.
What if my spouse is in a different country?
Our sessions are 100% virtual, so your spouse can join from anywhere with internet access. We work with couples across different continents regularly.
Do you help with custody and financial issues?
Yes. We help you create parenting plans, discuss financial arrangements, and work through asset division. For complex legal specifics about your situation, we recommend consulting a local family law attorney.
How flexible are scheduling options?
Very flexible. We offer early morning (US Eastern time) and late evening slots to accommodate different timezones comfortably.
Important: Mediation helps you reach agreements on the practical issues in your divorce. For legal matters such as drafting final documents, understanding jurisdiction-specific requirements, filing with courts, and ensuring compliance with local family law, we recommend working with a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction. Our role is to facilitate your agreement; legal and court filing matters require local legal expertise.
