Mediation Agreement

A Mediation Agreement is a legal document that sets forth the terms of a settlement reached through mediation in a divorce case. Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps the parties to communicate and negotiate a resolution to their dispute. The mediation agreement typically covers all of the major issues in the divorce, such as property division, alimony, child custody, and child support, and represents a compromise between the parties’ positions. The terms of the mediation agreement are usually binding on the parties once the agreement is signed, and can be submitted to the court for approval and incorporation into a final judgment of divorce. Mediation can be an effective way to resolve a divorce case without the need for a trial, and can provide a measure of control and flexibility for the parties in crafting a settlement that meets their needs and interests.
