How lengthy and costly a process is mediation?
Mediation is much less expensive and much quicker than traditional adversarial proceedings, even where each party’s lawyer has a view towards settling the matter. Although every case is different, many cases can be completed in four to six two-hour sessions. Moreover, in mediation, as opposed to a traditional divorce, no retainer (deposit) is required for the work to begin; rather, payment is made at the conclusion of each mediation session.
