Mediation is required in most cases. Mediation is an effective tool utilized to resolve marital and family law issues before the case reaches trial. The mediation process is preferred to trial as it reduces legal expenses and allows the parties to make decisions related to their case in lieu of the Judge deciding the case for them. The agreements that are formed through the mediation process are detailed and more thorough than those that can be obtained through trial.

Mediation is informal and confidential. Mediators do not make any decisions on your behalf and cannot “force” you to a settlement. Rather, the mediator will utilize their skills to encourage and facilitate the negotiation process and to assist the parties in reaching an agreement.
