Typically, a mediation session takes between three and five hours, with some going up to all day. However, sessions are kept short to decrease stress and ensure that both spouses are still in the mindset of coming to an agreement and meeting each other in the middle. As such, mediation may be split into two or three days, divided out over a few months. Sometimes only a few mediation sessions are required, and the entire mediation process can be over within a matter of a week or two. Other times, it may take multiple months of mediation before an agreement can be reached.
