Online Divorce Mediation Services in San Diego

When navigating a divorce, choosing the right mediation approach is key to ensuring a smooth and peaceful resolution. At San Diego Divorce Mediation, we offer both online mediation and in-person mediation to meet the needs of couples across San Diego County. But how do you decide which option is best for you? Let’s explore the benefits of each.

One of the primary advantages of choosing to mediate online for divorce is the increased convenience and flexibility it provides. Couples no longer need to coordinate schedules and travel to a physical location to attend mediation sessions.

Instead, you can join a mediation session from the comfort of your home using secure video calls or other digital tools. This saves time and makes it easier to avoid the problems of in-person meetings. It also offers more flexibility in scheduling, helping both sides fit their commitments and responsibilities.

Another significant benefit of virtual meetings for divorce and family mediation is the reduced cost. Divorce can be expensive. Costs like attorney fees, court fees, and travel expenses can add up fast.

Online Divorce Mediation Testimonial

Scott Levin helped us resolve our divorce quickly and affordably through both virtual online mediation and some meetings at his office. As a San Diego couple with busy schedules, the combination and offering of a virtual mediation option was perfect for us. Scott helped change around our Marital settlement agreement several times to fit our needs. The process with Scott was quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend Scott Levin for divorce mediation services.
Highly recommend! – Sarah, Carmel Valley

As a mediator, Scott was very helpful and provided all the services needed, start to finish without any problems. His communication, service, pricing and guidance were all key in getting us through a very difficult time as smoothly as possible.

Divorce sucks and I don't think there's any way around it. Even in the most amicable of situations, it's not easy. Scott helped me and my ex-husband navigate the entire process with such compassion and grace. He was always responsive to our questions and concerns. Scott listened thoughtfully to each of our separate needs and helped us to come to a solution that would appease us both. I hope to never need a divorce mediator again but for those who are needing one now, I cannot recommend Scott enough. He made the entire process that much more approachable than it would have been otherwise.

Scott helped us navigate the divorce process very smoothly. It was the right choice to work with a mediator and made everything much more amicable and pleasant. I would recommend working with Scott. I am very glad I made this decision for us early on.

Laurence D.

In a highly emotional and tense environment, Scott provided an environment where he supported the process by keeping us focused on the issues. Specifically, what I appreciated about Scott's approach was that he would explain what would typically happen in court, what would be arguable in court, what typically happens in mediation, and what were standard topics to be negotiated in mediation. Several times, we were close to moving away from mediation and going to court, which would have been an extreme waste of money in our case. Scott continuously tried to keep it on track to close out the process. I strongly recommend Scott as a mediator.
