Divorce brings decisions about parenting, finances, housing, and what comes next. Aether Mediation offers structured online conversations for Virginia couples who want to work toward an agreement. We help identify issues, organize information, and explore options. Each spouse makes their own decisions and may seek independent legal or financial advice. If you are considering divorce on your own, our separate individual Divorce Coaching service helps clarify priorities and prepare for next steps.
• Clarify decisions
List what needs attention now, what information is missing, and what can wait.
• Prepare for parenting discussions
Organize schedules, communication needs, and open questions without promising any outcome.
• Compare options
Explore possible agreements in a neutral conversation; each person decides what to accept.
• Keep coaching separate
One spouse can prepare individually; joint mediation requires willing participation from both.
• Meet online across Virginia
Consultations and services are conducted remotely.
If you and your spouse are ready to discuss decisions together, Divorce Mediation offers a neutral, structured way to work through parenting, finances, property, and next steps online.
