Every mediator's process (if they have one) is different, so we can only speak to how long divorce mediation takes working with us. Most couples need just 1 to 4 sessions with our divorce mediator and on average, the family mediation process takes 2-3 months from start to finish. Some of that time is spent gathering documents and submitting them to the mediator, some is spent negotiating the issues and some is spent by the mediator drafting the divorce agreement (which in mediation is called a Memorandum of Understanding) and other paperwork. The good news is that the speed and length of the divorce mediation process is entirely within the divorcing couple's control!
