Collaborative Divorce
In a Collaborative Divorce, spouses work to negotiate a Marital Settlement Agreement that addresses the goals, interests, and needs of both spouses as well as the best interests of their children while maintaining an atmosphere of respectfulness and cooperation.

Uncontested Divorce Services
An uncontested divorce, sometimes called a "kitchen table" divorce, exists when the parties are able to resolve all issues stemming from the dissolution of their marriage on their own. In such cases, Kales & Kales, PLC will draft a Marital Settlement Agreement, which memorializes that agreement, for our client and prepare and process all court papers required for his or her divorce. We charge an affordable fee for our services, which is based upon the case's complexity.

Virginia Divorce Mediation
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution wherein parties attempt to resolve their disputes with the assistance of a neutral third party, i.e., a mediator. Jonathan Kales is a Virginia Supreme Court certified family mediator, who began mediating while still in law school in the mid 1990s, where he helped couples with child custody and visitation disputes resolve their conflicts. He began offering mediation services shortly after Kales & Kales, PLC opened in 2004, following further training at Northern Virginia Mediation Service in Fairfax, Va. If you and your spouse need assistance getting past a limited number of hurdles and desire a process that is almost always quicker and more affordable than bringing your case to court, mediation may be the best choice for you.
