Resolving Family Disputes during COVID-19
Coronavirus impedes the ability of parties to meet in one room with a mediator. Work schedules may interfere in arranging a time to meet with a mediator to resolve divorce issues, asset division, parenting issues and child support modifications.
Steven Hirsch, with 40 years of experience as a divorce lawyer and 25 years as a divorce mediator, is inviting Rhode Island parties with Family Disputes to mediate by video conferencing. He will mediate a divorce, separation, parenting plan or child support; modifications of past agreements can be resolved as you each sit in your own home on your own computer, tablet or smartphone.
During COVID-19 restrictions on meeting face to face, you need not feel helpless that you cannot accomplish results while waiting for the courts to open. Steven Hirsch, a Rhode Island mediator, suspects that while many Rhode Islanders are out of work or on a modified schedule, child support may need to be modified. Day care closings may require changes in parenting schedules. These issues can be discussed and resolved through mediation.
The procedure will require that you are able to access a devise and be able to scan and transmit documents to Steven Hirsch. After a brief video conference, Steve will forward to each party a Mediation Agreement to sign and return, which is required in order to maintain confidentiality under Rhode Island law. You will sign it and return it before the first full mediation.
If the mediation was face to face, parties would bring in financial documents; now, these will need to be scanned and emailed to the mediator and other party. Both parties will be able to see and hear the mediator and the other party.
Don't feel paralyzed. You can move forward with a Divorce Video Conference with Steven Hirsch, Esq.
