A Successful Ending
Mediation can be conducted before a lawsuit is filed or any time prior to trial. Many divorces settle at mediation and do not have to move forward to trial. Some courts mandate couples attempt mediation prior to trial.
A mediator will lead the mediation and attempt to facilitate the parties reaching an agreement. The mediator has no vested interest and does not make rulings. Any discussions in mediation are not legally binding unless an agreement is reached, and if the mediation fails, then no portion of the negotiations will be admissible in court. Thus, mediation provides clients with a forum for open discussions and tailored solutions which a court may well not consider.
