Are lawyers involved in the mediation process?
Attorneys are rarely present in family, divorce or parenting mediations. They are certainly welcome should they wish or if the parties want them to attend. You have an absolute right to have your attorney participate in the mediation process if you so desire, but the use of attorneys is not required, except in rare cases. Who is present in the mediation, in addition to the parties and the mediator, is always up to the agreement of the parties.
