What is Mediation? Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process wherein a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates a discussion between the parties to a lawsuit to promote the voluntary resolution of disputes before trial.
Texas does not require mediation in family law, but most judges require it. Family law mediation is never required when the parties have an agreement. Most judges require mediation and the parties will not be granted a trial unless they have first attempted to reach an agreement through the mediation process.
In California, approximately 95% of civil cases settle out of court. Many of these settle at a mediation. Others settle outside of mediation. (Parties are always free to discuss settlement...
Mediation is when a neutral third party called a mediator works with each party in a lawsuit to reach a compromise before going to trial. The mediator helps the parties to reach a compromise.The mediator points out issues in the case or areas of weakness and benefits of settling.
In a successful mediation, the parties decide the outcomes of the case, rather than allowing a third party to do it for them. If the mediation fails, then the parties simply proceed to trial, and treat the mediation as if it never happened. The jury never hears about what happened at the mediation.
The mediator is usually selected by joint agreement of the parties, although if they cannot agree or do not know who to elect the parties can ask a third person or independent body to select a suitable mediator.
If one or both parties fail to attend mediation, the Court will be notified. If this occurs, it is important that you still appear at the Court hearing on the date scheduled. However, both parties should be prepared to provide an explanation to the judge why they were unable to attend mediation.
A successful mediation can take anywhere from a few hours or a full day. In our experience, the average mediation time is between 4-6 hours. The process takes time because the mediator will be meeting privately with the parties in separate rooms in order to gather information about the case.
If you cannot reach an agreement with the other participant, or mediation fails for any other reason, for example the other party will not attend or the mediator feels that mediation is unworkable, you may proceed with your dispute to the courts.
