ByTerri Breer

Would you like to proceed with your divorce proceedings using mediation, but feel you can’t handle the emotional stress of meeting face to face with your spouse? Do you like the idea of participating in divorce settlement negotiations with your spouse from the comfort of your own home or office? Are you anxious to commence your divorce, but unable to meet with an attorney or mediator because of the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will want to know about the availability of online options for handling your divorce proceedings. At New Day Divorce we now offer our clients the option of conducting all mediation sessions using a Zoom meeting platform. Our online platform allows you to see your mediator and your spouse on your computer screen. Your mediator is able to share important documents and forms that you and your spouse can both see on your computer screen even though you are not physically in the same room. If you are using other divorce professionals to assist you in your mediation process, like a financial consultant or co-parenting expert, these professionals can also easily join your online mediation sessions, if desired.

The Zoom program is free and easy to learn. You will need a computer that has a camera feature build-in and you will find that most computers have these cameras, or you can purchase an inexpensive camera ($30-$60) that will allow your older computer to have the camera function. You also will want to make sure that you have a place where you can have a private Zoom meeting without interruptions. We are available to assist you with the set up and launch of the Zoom meeting platform on your computer.

If you would like to schedule an initial consultation to learn more about our new on-line mediation programs please contact New Day Divorce to schedule an initial consultation via Zoom for you and your spouse.

  • Avoid Getting “the Twisties” – Mediate Don’t Litigate

    ByTerri Breer

    Many of us learned the gymnastic term the “twisties” this week when the news broke that world-renowned gymnast, Simone Biles, had withdrawn from the women’s all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympics. “I just don’t trust myself as much as I used to,” Biles told reporters in Tokyo and she stated that she “wanted to focus on her mental health.” Apparently, getting “the twisties” is a gymnast’s biggest nightmare. The twisties are described as a mysterious phenomenon — suddenly a gymnast is no longer able to do a twisting skill he or she has done thousands of times before. Elle Reeve, a CNN reporter who used to compete in gymnastics said the twisties are a condition where, “Your body just won’t cooperate, your brain loses track…

  • Are You Guilty of a Destructive Divorce Dance?

    ByTerri Breer

    Marriage counselors often talk about how couples repeat the same “dance steps” when they argue. It is common for couples who are divorcing to have developed some bad communication styles, and they may have engaged in these styles for so long that they are now habitual. A marriage counselor may try to teach couples new dance steps to save their marriage and handle conflict. Unfortunately, if the couple continues to be stuck in old patterns of conflict, these destructive patterns do not get any better when they divorce. Destructive Divorce Dances THE LIMBO Characteristics How Low Can You Go? THE MACARENA Characteristics Hey Macarena!!! STOMP Characteristics Take that! SALSA Characteristics Hot! Hot! Hot!

  • No Prenup? No Problem. The Family Law Code is Your Marital Contract

    ByTerri Breer

    Most couples marry without a prenuptial agreement; however, even if the couple does not create a prenuptial agreement, they are in essence getting a prenup when they marry, because the entire family law code is now embedded in their relationship. Couples who marry in a community property state have in essence formed a partnership with terms that were never negotiated. Other than the parties’ mutual agreement to marry and their wedding vows, there is usually no specific “meeting of the minds” on the specific terms and conditions of the marital relationship. Their marital agreement is also going to be impacted by societal values, norms, and laws that often change during the marriage. Marriage is not an “arms-length transaction.” It is based on intimacy and emotions….
