Mediation is a process in which a trained, neutral third-party facilitates a discussion between disputing parties with the goal of reaching a solution to which all parties can agree. With mediation, attorneys and their clients are often able to reach creative solutions to emotional and complicated matters without having to go to court, which can be a long and drawn-out process. In addition, all parties can expect a comfortable, private environment.

Mediation is a chance for parties to resolve their case without the court. Court can be stressful and much more costly.

Further, mediation provides a chance for you to have a much more flexible agreement that works for you and your family. If you leave your case to a judge, the order will follow the narrow laws judges must follow. In contrast, mediated settlement agreements can do whatever you and the other party think is best without being constrained by the law. For example, judges rarely if ever can order a 50/50 custody arrangement. However, you may agree to one in mediation.

Mediation is also completely confidential where as court records are public records. This means that neither the mediator nor the parties can be compelled to testify about what happened at mediation. This allows for a great deal of privacy.

It is also important to note that mediation is usually a much quicker process than trial. Sometimes courts can have you wait weeks to months to schedule a hearing or trial. Also, it takes less preparation and money to prepare for a mediation as opposed to a court appearance.

If you have an attorney, your attorney can help you prepare for mediation. It is best to get all relevant documents in order before mediation. For example, if it is a mediation for a final divorce order, you may need to make sure you have a final inventory of your assets, bank statements, and property documents ready.

In most cases, mediation will result in an agreement. It is an excellent way to conclude your case without the money, stress, and time of a trial. If you believe you need a mediator in your case, contact Hunt Law Firm, PLLC to request mediation with one of three certified mediators in family law.
