Trusted Child Support Mediation in Northern Virginia

An affordable and confidential process, child support mediation is an ideal way to decide the allocation of child support during a separation and a divorce without involving a court. Mediation is private, polite, and allows each party to take an active role in the process of determining the right amount of child support payments. The mediator’s job is to listen to the needs of each party and then help parties talk about how to reach the best financial arrangements for everyone involved.

Call us at 703-443-9360 or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation. We are located in Leesburg and serve the surrounding areas, including Herndon, Ashburn, Sterling, and beyond.

  • Why Choose Child Support Mediation?

    In child support mediation, the mediator does not take sides in the process. It is the mediators’ job to remain impartial, in which Graham Law is experienced. We prioritize the needs of the family during the child support mediation process, which is not the case if the courts decide the amount of child support awarded.

    Here are three reasons why choosing child support mediation is a better option for your family:

    1. The process of mediation is to help the parties involved talk.
    2. The mediator’s job is to help everyone talk about their financial situation and how to fairly decide child support for everyone involved.
    3. The end goal is to leave with an agreement of an amount of child support that will be paid. If this process were undertaken in court, that amount would be decided without either spouse’s chance to speak.
