There are two types of mediation as it pertains to family law. Court-ordered mediation regarding custody and voluntary mediation. Parties who have a dispute about custody or visitation in New York may be required to attend a mandatory custody mediation session at the courthouse. If an Order to Show Cause is filed on your behalf, a copy will be given to you. Voluntary mediation may be used to resolve your entire dissolution and/or custody dispute, thus resulting in favorable results with significant cost savings as well as less strain on the children. Separation and divorce are among the most painful and disruptive events an individual and family can experience. The problems are both financial and emotional, deeply touching all members of the family. Mediation aims at reducing this tension, not increasing it. With the help of the mediator, couples negotiate their own settlement and learn the techniques for resolving future differences. Mediation is for couples who want to retain control over the decisions that affect their lives and either don't want their children caught in the middle, or wish to keep their family life and financial status private.
