Mediating spouses can bring their attorneys with them to mediation Even if the attorneys are not in the mediation sessions, the “support” or “review” attorneys can advise the parties as to their rights and confirm that any agreement is reasonable. During private sessions, the attorney can explain how making certain decisions will impact their legal rights so that the client is completely informed when going through this process. Additionally, mediating spouses can ask other professionals to be involved in the process, such as financial consultants or the children’s therapist.
