What’s the difference between Collaborative Divorce and Mediation?
[top] A: In mediation, an impartial third party (the mediator) assists negotiations between two parties and tries to help you settle your case. However, the mediator cannot give either of you legal advice or be an advocate for either of you. If there are lawyers for each of you, they may or may not be present at the mediation sessions, but if they are not present, then you can consult them between mediation sessions. When there’s an agreement, the mediator prepares a draft of the settlement terms for review and editing by both you and your lawyers.
