FAQs
What is the first step in the mediation process?
All of the parties are introduced in a neutral, safe area in order to begin defining the subject and goals of the discussion. Any children involved will likely not be present at this stage.
Should my children be involved?
Mediation should always be conducted with the utmost concern for the wellbeing of any children involved in the dispute. Children can participate in discussions about custody and visitation if they are of an appropriate age and they choose to do so.
How much time does mediation take?
The timeline of a mediation case depends on the parameters of the clients, as well as their goals and the steps necessary to reach the desired result. At Finger Lakes Mediation, we are dedicated to giving each case a realistic timeline and the dedication necessary to see it through.
How can I trust that I will get a fair decision?
One of the many benefits of mediation is the emphasis on mutual agreement, client control, and overall fairness. You will receive a Memorandum of Understanding at the end of mediation, and we encourage you to have this document reviewed by your attorney. Finger Lakes Mediation is dedicated to reaching a fair outcome for all the parties involved, even in high-conflict cases.
Are mediation proceedings confidential?
Finger Lakes Mediation will never disclose any information about mediation cases unless required by law to do so. If divulging information about your mediation case is required by law, we will let all parties involved know before the mediation process begins.
