Mediation FAQs

• Q: I've Heard About Mediation, But I've Also Heard That The Less Sophisticated Spouse Is More Likely To Be Taken Advantage Of?
  A: True, there may be an imbalance of power. But a good mediator will take this into account and even reject cases if there is a likelihood of fraud or unfair dealing.
• Q: I Might Consider Mediation, But Will I Have To Waive My Ability To Use A Lawyer?
  A: Absolutely not! Good mediators encourage clients to have independent counsel review divorce agreements.
• Q: Well, This All Sounds Reasonable, But My Spouse Would Never Agree To Mediation. Can I Force Him?
  A: Absolutely not! Mediation is 100% voluntary.
