iDivorce™ — Comprehensive Colorado Divorce Mediation Services from Your Home or Office, Wherever You Live or Work!
In another of our innovations and in an
effort to provide greater options to our clients
facing challenges of distance or time,
Divorce Resolutions®, Colorado Center for Divorce Mediation™, now offers iDivorce™.
iDivorce™ allows us to provide comprehensive
Colorado divorce mediation services from your home or
office, wherever you live or work! It may be an ideal
solution for parties residing
out-of-state and needing a long distance
approach to their divorce.
How Does iDivorce™ Work?
The Basics
Your mediator sends you and your spouse or co-parent notice
of an on-line meeting along with a website address where the
meeting will occur. You simply click through to this website
and your mediation session begins securely and immediately.
You now share your mediator's computer screen (and our
unique divorce planning tools) in real time. Our
conversations take place by use of your computer's
microphone (the meeting allows for audio participation) or
more often, simply by separate phone conferencing we
provide.
Participating in mediation with us by iDivorce™ allows you
full access in your work to the same full range and visual
power of our special collaborative divorce planning
resources, as enjoyed by our clients working with us
in-person in our Denver-Boulder corridor offices. (See our article on
our pioneering
the use of large LCD displays in divorce
mediation and how that innovation offers substantial
advantages to our clients in their divorce.)
Easily Accessible
Our unique
iDivorce™ process does not require the download, installation or
configuring of any software. Even our self-admitted
technologically-challenged clients find the process
accessible and easily managed! All that is required is a
high-speed internet connection and if you prefer, an
available telephone line.
Without Additional Cost
Mediation by iDivorce™ is without extra cost. You may choose
to use the process for all or just a portion of our
mediation work.
Why Use iDivorce™?
Our experience suggests for many reasons that face-to-face
"in‑person" mediation is clearly ideal and
favored for most couples. If possible, we encourage
mediation to take place face-to-face
in this traditional approach. Where less feasible we
strongly encourage at least a single such meeting.
But for other couples, in-person mediation presents
challenges. For some couples, relocation of one or both
spouses or co-parents may make return to Colorado
prohibitively expensive. For some couples, the many demands
of work, travel, school, child care and family logistics are
imposing – even though they live reasonably close to our
Denver - Boulder offices.
iDivorce™ allows divorce and family mediation to proceed with
one or both spouses or co-parents off-site, residing or
visiting during the time of divorce in different parts of
the metropolitan Denver - Boulder area, the Front Range,
Western Slope and more distant parts of Colorado, the United
States, North America and far reaches of other continents
and the globe.
How Do I Start?
Simply give us a call at 303-650-1750, or e-mail us a
request to begin. We will follow the same procedure detailed
in the "How You Work With Us" section of our site (we will
confer briefly with you and your spouse or co-parent to
inform you about mediation and our process).
Examples of iDivorce™
Out-of-the-Country (Jane and Mark)
Jiân ("Jane" is her Americanized namesake) and Mark met in
Colorado 5 years ago. Jane, a resident of the People's
Republic of China, was here on a work visa. They fell in
love as collaborating project colleagues and got married.
Jane acquired US citizenship. Eventually, Mark's career
granted him an expatriate opportunity in China and they
moved there and acquired a second home. Mark's assignment
ended and he returned to Denver. Jane has remained working
in China.
They have no children and have amicably decided to divorce.
But the costs of two lawyers or of Jane's flying back to
Colorado to mediate face-to-face seemed prohibitive.
We affordably and efficiently mediated
Jane and Mark's divorce by our innovative iDivorce™ process,
with long-distance screen sharing (accomplished with a high
speed internet connection).
Jane and Mark each had full access
visually to our custom divorce collaborative tools
(including our Powerpoint® presentation of the Colorado
divorce process, online access to and assistance in
completing basic Colorado divorce forms, our innovative
Excel® Colorado divorce planning tools, and our powerful
spousal maintenance and support tax planning software). They
watched from the convenience of their homes and the comfort
of their own computer screens as issues were outlined,
approaches considered, and agreements made.
Their detailed divorce planning took
place in a single iDivorce™ session arranged at a local time
convenient to Jane in Beijing (8:30 a.m. Denver time – 10:30
p.m.). Documents were forwarded by electronic mail and
further reviewed in a single final iDivorce™ screen-sharing
session. Mark completed certain forms which were signed by
Jane and notarized by personnel in the US Embassy in Beijing
and returned for Mark's filing with the Colorado divorce
court.

Out-of-State, In-State or Even Local
Couples Seeking Convenience
Although Jane and Mark's case involved a
Denver spouse participating at our office with a spouse
residing in and participating in a distant foreign country,
we have mediated by iDivorce™ with couples in many less
distant geographic circumstances. We commonly mediate all or
a portion of a divorce or after-divorce issues with couples
residing out-of-state or farther regions of Colorado, but
also with couples both residing even within the metropolitan
area.
Another Innovation from Colorado's Premier
Divorce and Family Mediators
As we have from the beginning, we aspire
to be Colorado's premier professional divorce and family
mediators. iDivorce™ is just another client-focused option we
have innovated to that end!
Give us a call at 303-650-1750, or e-mail us a
request to learn
more. We think you will find mediation with us – by our
traditional in-office model or by iDivorce™ – a good fit for
you and your Colorado family wherever you and your spouse or
co-parent reside.
