The process of Mediation involves a trained mediator acting as a neutral third party to assist in facilitating settlement discussions between persons in conflict. The mediator cannot make any decisions or impose a settlement upon the parties. The mediator’s goal is to focus the attention of the parties on their needs and help them reach an agreement.
In some cases, the parties can recognize the value of attempting to resolve the issues that are important to them, without the Court’s interference. However, increasingly more Courts are making mediation a mandatory step of any family law case.
