A brief outline of how divorce mediation typically moves along is as follows:
Pre-Mediation Calls
Before we begin mediating your case, we will conduct a pre-mediation call. In the call, we will discuss the contested issues at hand, your goals for your divorce, and briefly outline how the process may go, as well as answer any questions you may have about the process.
During Mediation
During your mediation session, we will first establish ground rules for the discussion, listen to you and your spouse’s desires, and help facilitate a productive conversation to reach a compromise. The overall goal is to reach an agreement at the end of your session.
Closure
When the parties agree on a solution, they will reconvene with the mediator for the final step: closure. The mediator will assist the parties in documenting the key points of the settlement, which will be signed by both parties. This agreement is legally binding.
