If you are concerned that there is a problem with the mediator or that your spouse is getting more out of this than you are, speak with your attorney. Your attorney will ensure that the mediator is not leaning more toward one side than the other. It is the mediator’s responsibility to assess what is going on with both parties and provide a fair agreement. However, your family law attorney may encourage you to continue pursuing litigation if they feel that an unfair deal has been made. Even if you do decide to pursue litigation, you may find that going through the mediation process helped you and your spouse resolve some of the problems that you had, making the litigation process smoother and quicker.
