Tennessee Code Annotated §36-4-130 states that mediators have a duty to keep information that parties provide to the mediator confidential. This allows the parties to provide true and honest information to the mediator so that the mediator can do their best job to bring the case to a resolution. These factors combine to make mediation a solid option for any person with a matter before a family court who is willing to consider an alternative way to settle their disputes. A Chattanooga mediation lawyer could help to represent a party’s interests during all mediation sessions.
