Every divorce mediation is different, and the complexity of the issues may determine how long the mediation might take. Some cases need less time, which may be from three to five sessions with a mediation, and other more complex matters could take many more sessions. The mediator helps move the discussions along, helps keep the couples focused on the issues that need resolution, and works hard to be as efficient as possible with the amount of time it takes to reach and write the draft divorce agreements.
