What is Mandatory Mediation?
Mediation is a process. While you are required to attend at your cour
t-mandated child custody mediation session, no one can force you to resolve your parenting dispute by mediated agreement. Any decisions arrived at in mediation are made by you and the other parent. If you do not reach agreement, you will have a hearing in court and the judge will make the decision.
