Mediation is a means of alternative dispute resolution used by parties to a conflict to achieve a level of reconciliation and agreement beyond that achieved through negotiation or litigation. It may be either an informal process done with the help of a mediator or a formal procedure conducted by a specially trained and neutral third-party mediator.
Divorce Mediation is a process in which a neutral mediator helps divorcing spouses reach an agreement through direct negotiations. The mediator does not decide the outcome of the case and cannot impose a settlement on either party, but rather assists in reaching a mutual agreement that resolves all issues.
The court can refer a case to mediation when it seems appropriate and in the best interest of the parties and their children. Many cases settle through mediation, avoiding the need for extensive litigation. Of course, if an agreement is not reached during mediation, you may end up going to trial before the family court judge.
