Many divorces are now resolved through court-ordered meditations. One mediation is for custody and parenting time. The other is for finances. Successful mediation requires both sides to cooperate and compromise
One reason that mediation is successful is that before the parties spend lots of time and money to litigate, the neutral mediator facilitates discussions and tells both parties how the court is likely to decide. With this knowledge, and a skillful mediator, parties that are willing to cooperate and compromise tends to settle their case.
