Parties with a family law dispute can consider either mediation or collaborative family law at this time. Mediation involves disputing parties working with a trained neutral, who will help them reach an agreement on family law issues. Collaborative family law is a process in which parties who want to come to an amicable resolution to the termination of their marriage can work with trained professionals to resolve the many issues at stake in a family law matter.

ADR for Family Matters During the Pandemic
The COVID-19 crisis has interrupted life as we know it, and it has impacted how the Virginia courts are operating. While each county has different orders, most "non-essential" matters have been "continued" (i.e. postponed), in some cases until June, and in others, indefinitely. Among the matters impacted by these orders are ordinary family law trials. Similarly, custodial disputes are on hold. Quite simply, it is too risky to have hearings and trials at this time. Unfortunately, this has placed couples, particularly parents, in untenable positions. Questions of visitation, support, and asset division are vitally important to the people disagreeing over these issues, but the courts aren't available to resolve matters. Now more than ever, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a useful way to manage family law matters.

Just read "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande- very interesting discussions about how we treat our aging population in the United States – how we came to set up nursing homes 30 years ago, how doctors approach death and dying, and how we are making improvements in these areas. Highly recommended for anyone who has a senior family member, or who is an aging baby boomer. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20696006-being-mortal
