| How long does Mediation take? |
Mediation can vary greatly in length, but on average divorce mediation last between four and ten 2-hour sessions.
A case with fewer issues, such as a Modification or Paternity case, will take less time. A case that is more complicated, such
as a divorce involving complicated businesses, self-employment income, or custody disputes, can often take longer.
The length of the mediation will depend on the attitude of the individuals, how complicated their disputes are, and how flexible
their schedules are. |
| Will the Mediator help me prepare court documents? |
Once an agreement is reached, a mediator who is also an attorney can help the individuals prepare court documents, such as the Separation Agreement.
If you need assistance preparing your Financial Statement, or you need advice as to whether an Agreement is in your best interest then you should
consult with an individual attorney. Although, a Mediator can help you prepare an Agreement, they cannot provide you with individual legal advice. |
| Does the Mediator go to Court with us? |
Because the mediator does not represent either party, the mediator will not attend court with you, even after an agreement is reached. |
