[QUOTE="witzend, post: 602285, member: 99"] Mediation is useless everywhere when people refuse to settle. But in most (if not all) states the only information about an unsettled mediation that can be released is that there was no settlement reached. There's never any fault attributed to anyone. It's not a family study or a psychiatric evaluation, it's just an attempt to settle before court and if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen and that is [I]all[/I] anyone can present to the Court or GAL. All contested custody matters are referred to mediation and both parties [I]must [/I]attend, but that's the only requirement. In Missouri, mediation in child custody matters is confidential, and the final disposition of the mediation is released to the court for review. So, if there is no agreement in mediation, that's the limit of what the court by law can know about mediation - "no resolution".
