Mediation is a process in which divorcing couples work with a neutral third-party mediator to facilitate decision-making in connection with their separation. While the mediator guides the discussions, the divorcing couple makes the final decisions. Mediation, much like collaborative divorce, offers a platform for both parties to take active roles in constructing a fair and peaceful resolution.

In divorce mediation, the mediator meets with the divorcing couple in mediation sessions to discuss options, review legal separation documents, and work toward solutions.
