[QUOTE="witzend, post: 602288, member: 99"] The only report from a mediation that results in no resolution is essentially a three sentence form letter with check boxes for: 1) Resolved, See attached agreement; 2) Partially resolved, See attached agreement; 3) Unresolved. I think that "mediation" is being misinterpreted here. Mediation is an attempt to make an agreement with the help of someone with the legal knowledge to be able to say, "that's legal, you can do that"; or "that's illegal, you can't do that". They can give suggestions, like, "Well, if he took weekends, would you let him have legal custody?" or "Can you agree to use the same day care as he does?" An agreement reached in mediation is voluntary and the process is confidential. An [I]ruling[/I] reached in arbitration is binding and could be made with neither party's consent. Arbitration is not confidential. There are GAL's, Family Studies, court ordered as well as privately paid for psychiatric evaluations, all sorts of stuff that is not confidential. But mediation is always confidential. [/QUOTE]
