Mediation in West Virginia FAQs
What if we can’t agree on everything?
That’s exactly why mediation exists. You don’t need to be aligned on everything—we’ll help you work through the most difficult of issues. In the event that a total agreement cannot be made, mediation allows the parties to narrow the issues that may arise in a final hearing thus saving time and most importantly, expenses.
Is mediation legally binding?
Once both parties agree and the document is submitted to the court, yes it becomes legally enforceable just like a court order.
Do I have to sit in the same room with my spouse?
Not at Hoover Law. We have multiple conference rooms, can arrange separate sessions or virtual meetings if needed. The goal is to keep things productive, not uncomfortable and painful.
How long does mediation take?
Some couples wrap it up in a few sessions. Others need more time. We move at a pace that respects the decisions being made by both parties.
Can we use mediation if we already agree on most things?
Yes. Mediation helps finalize the terms, catch what might’ve been missed, and prepare everything for court approval.
