Q: What is Mediation?

A: Mediation is an intervention by an impartial third party who "mediates" between two sides in a dispute, in an attempt to help them reach an agreement.

There may be certain instances when a mediator can assist in resolving issues relating to your divorce. This may also be beneficial to both parties, as it can save time and money.

Although it is possible to go through mediation without hiring an attorney to represent your own personal interests, it is still recommended for each party to have personal representation. In an ideal situation, your attorney will serve as an advisor and give you the knowledge you require to effectively negotiate and settle your case through the mediation process.
