How does California Law Define Mediation?

Mediation is a way in which divorcing couples come to a common resolution for their divorce or family law dispute without having to involve a judge to enforce a decision for them. Any matter, be it asset division, alimony, parenting plan, child support, or any other family dispute, can be resolved via mediation. 

A mediation must fulfill the following three components:

●    Neutrality 
Neutrality is the first and foremost requirement of mediation. The mediator must be neutral and cannot choose sides between the two parties. 

●    Non-Binding
Any agreement reached via mediation is not binding in itself unless the parties decide to turn it into a formal contract.

●    Confidentiality
Mediation is required to be absolutely confidential. Whatever happens during mediation cannot be used as evidence in the courtroom nor disclosed in any discovery process.
