QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDIATION

Do we need to file divorce papers before beginning mediation?

No, the papers can be prepared after you start mediation. If you prefer, we can assist you in the preparation and filing of the court documents.

If my spouse or I have already started a court action, is it too late to mediate our case?

No. You can agree to mediate your divorce at any time before the final orders are entered by the court.

How long does mediation take?

To a great extent, you are in control of how long mediation takes. Sessions can be scheduled as often or as infrequently as you wish. The number of sessions needed to reach an agreement depends on the complexity of the issues and upon your ability to work cooperatively toward a solution. For example, on the average, couples typically need only Two sessions, each two hours long, to resolve their issues. Post judgment conflicts generally require only one or two sessions, depending on the number and complexity of the issues. Couples who experience high levels of conflict may require additional sessions.

How do we resolve more complex issues?

I am trained and experienced in resolving complex and emotionally charged issues. With years of experience working for the Family Court System, I provide the couple with a unique combination of skills to help them address complex and emotionally charged issues.

What are the risks of mediation?

The risk in trying mediation is limited to the cost and time of your initial session. Choosing an experienced family mediator is the best way to minimize the risks of an unsuccessful mediation. For a minority of couples who are unable to resolve their conflict in mediation, you still have the option to resort to a litigated divorce after terminating mediation.
