Rule 31 Mediator

Mediation is a required step in litigation, where parties must attempt to resolve their case before proceeding to trial. While the court mandates attendance, it does not force an agreement. Mediation is voluntary and no resolution will occur unless both parties agree.

Mediation involves a neutral mediator who helps the parties work through issues such as property division, child custody, support, and other relevant matters, aiming for a comprehensive settlement that the Judge may approve.

Mediation typically occurs in separate rooms for each party, with the mediator moving between rooms to facilitate communication. The mediator discusses proposals with both sides and helps generate potential solutions, with the goal of reaching a mutual agreement.

Your attorney will be present throughout the mediation, providing advice and helping you navigate the process. While mediation is voluntary, your attorney will ensure you understand the implications of any potential agreement and the risks of going to trial.

  • Binding Agreements: Agreements made in mediation, like a Marital Dissolution Agreement or Parenting Plan, are binding once signed. Ensure you fully understand the terms before signing.
  • You Can Ask for Advice: Don’t hesitate to seek your attorney’s advice throughout the process.
  • Outside Opinions: Avoid second-guessing after mediation. Trust your attorney and the mediator, who are knowledgeable and experienced.
  • Your Rights: You are under no obligation to agree. If you reach a resolution, it can be signed and become enforceable. If no resolution is reached, the case proceeds to trial.

If an agreement is reached in mediation, it will be drafted, signed, and presented to the Judge for approval, resolving the case without a trial. If no agreement is reached, the case will move forward to a final hearing.
