Mediation is a voluntary negotiating process that gives the parties total control over the outcome of their dispute. Mediation has a structure and timetable that traditional negotiation and litigation lacks. During mediation, couples participate with a neutral mediator who assists the parties in resolving their divorce issues and reaching a legally binding agreement. Mediation has significant benefits over litigation.
