In Connecticut, mediated divorces must use the same sworn financial disclosure documentation — called Financial Affidavits — that courts require in litigation.  Each client must fill out his or her own Financial Affidavit to the best of their ability. Intentionally misrepresenting information on a Financial Affidavit can result in criminal charges. So this usually goes a long way to impress upon each client the benefits of full disclosure. In addition, if you like, in mediation you can use many of the same disclosure tools used in litigation, such as interrogatories, depositions and professional valuations, to get the level of disclosure that makes you comfortable, though this is not required.
