The three types of mediation are facilitative, evaluative, and transformative. In facilitative mediation, the mediator primarily facilitates conversations between spouses. The mediator may offer ideas, but they will primarily let the spouses speak to each other while guiding the conversation from issue to issue. Evaluative mediation is more like a legal meeting with the goal of reaching a settlement. The mediator typically has significant legal knowledge that they will share throughout the process. Transformative mediation aims to change the way spouses approach the divorce process, ensuring that they can communicate with each other effectively. This form of mediation can be ideal for co-parents.
