This is unlikely. If the children are at an age where you think they need to have some input in the decisions that you make for them, you can discuss this within the mediation and look at ways that this information can be best obtained. It’s usually much better for children to see their parents working together to come to solutions which then work best for them, rather than involving them in the dispute. What mediation is very good for, is helping parents find ways to continue to co-parent so that the children are not badly effected by the family changes that are going on. Often, lack of or poor communication between parents, is the main problem for children of divorced or separated parents.
