Mediation almost always takes less time than litigation. Depending on the issues, it can even take place in one day, although most divorcing couples meet for several sessions on separate days over a period of days or weeks or months. It usually involves only child custody and visitation issues. Rarely are financial issues addressed in court-ordered mediation. The mediator in a court-sponsored program often makes a report to the court.
Private mediation is usually confidential.
