What is Mediation?

Mediation is a process which can be used to resolve a dispute or to obtain a divorce. It is an alternative to litigation and provides a way to avoid courtroom battles. In mediation, a team of professionals helps you negotiate a settlement you can live with. The mediators do not make the decisions; you do.

Once both sides have agreed to use mediation, an initial session is scheduled. During this session, both sides receive an orientation to the mediation process and begin to work on agreements. The number of sessions needed to reach an agreement depends on the complexity of the issues and the parties' ability to work cooperatively toward a solution. When an agreement is reached, it is drafted into a legally binding contract, which can be made part of a court order.
