mediator using Digital Tools to Transform the Divorce Mediation Experience

Divorce mediation can be an emotionally and logistically challenging process for everyone involved. At West Coast Family Mediation Center, we’re committed to providing a streamlined and efficient experience to help ease some of the burdens during this difficult time. One way we achieve this is by leveraging the power of digital tools in our mediation practice. In this Q&A-style blog post, we’ll answer some common questions about the digital tools we use and how they benefit our clients throughout the divorce mediation process.

What are the benefits of using Calendly for scheduling needs?

Calendly is an online scheduling platform that simplifies the process of setting up appointments and managing schedules. By using Calendly, our clients can easily book appointments with mediators, access real-time availability, and receive automatic confirmations and reminders. This eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails or phone calls, saving time and reducing the potential for miscommunications. Additionally, Calendly integrates with popular calendar platforms, ensuring that everyone involved is on the same page regarding appointments and commitments.

How does Dropbox help with case files and document management during divorce mediation?

Dropbox is a secure cloud storage platform that allows us to create, store, and share case files and documents with our clients. By using Dropbox, we can ensure that all relevant information, including financial documents and legal forms, is easily accessible to both clients and mediators. This not only streamlines the mediation process but also helps maintain organization and security. Clients can upload their financial documents directly to Dropbox, ensuring that sensitive information is kept confidential and protected with encryption. As we are mainly digital in our process, this is a crucial tool we leverage to make (as highlighted) the experience as seamless as possible. Learn more on how to use Dropbox.

Why are you transitioning from DocuSign to Dropbox Sign, and what advantages does it offer?

While DocuSign has been a valuable tool for obtaining electronic signatures on legal documents, we’ve decided to transition to Dropbox Sign due to its seamless integration with our existing Dropbox workflow. With Dropbox Sign, clients can review, sign, and securely store important documents all within the Dropbox platform. This integration simplifies the document signing process, reduces the need for multiple platforms, and helps maintain a unified and organized digital workspace. By using Dropbox Sign, we can provide our clients with a more efficient and user-friendly experience throughout their divorce mediation journey. 

How does using Stripe.com benefit clients in the payment process?

Stripe is a leading online payment processing platform that enables secure and efficient transactions for our clients. By integrating Stripe into our payment system, we can offer our clients a variety of payment options, such as credit cards and direct bank transfers. This ensures that the payment process is both convenient and flexible, accommodating our clients’ individual preferences and financial situations. Additionally, Stripe’s robust security measures, including PCI compliance and advanced fraud protection, give clients peace of mind that their sensitive financial information is protected throughout the transaction process. With Stripe’s user-friendly interface, we can provide our clients with a smooth and secure payment experience, allowing them to focus on the mediation process without worrying about payment-related complications.
