Mediation is the process by which the parties and their lawyers meet with a neutral party to discuss ways of resolving the issues at hand.
Ideally, the mediator should be a lawyer wellversed in divorce issues, or at least a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator.
It is not a good idea to go to mediation until you are ready to prove your own case, and received all of your spouse's relevant financial or other documents.
The mediator cannot force anyone to agree to anything, although the Judge can order you to go to mediation in good faith and cooperate.
