What Happens During Divorce Mediation In California?
The divorce mediation process begins with an initial meeting where the mediator explains the process, establishes ground rules and identifies the issues that need resolution. Over subsequent sessions, you and your spouse will work through each issue with the mediator’s guidance, developing solutions that work for both parties.
Unlike court proceedings, mediation sessions in Newport Beach are private and confidential. The mediator does not make decisions for you but instead helps facilitate productive communication so you can reach your own agreements. Once all issues are resolved, the mediator prepares a memorandum of understanding that outlines all agreements, which your attorneys then convert into formal legal documents for court submission.
Which Elements Of Your Newport Beach Divorce Can Go Through Mediation?
Nearly all aspects of your divorce can be addressed through mediation services in California. Key elements commonly addressed in mediation include:
