Divorce Mediation FAQ – Resolving Divorce Without Going to Court
How does divorce mediation work in Minnesota?
In divorce mediation, a neutral third party helps spouses resolve disagreements over custody, property, and support. It’s a private, voluntary process that gives couples more control and often results in quicker, less costly settlements than court litigation. Mediation is especially effective for cooperative couples.
Is divorce mediation confidential?
Yes. Mediation is confidential under Minnesota law. What’s said during mediation typically can’t be used in court unless both parties agree or certain exceptions apply (like threats of harm). Confidentiality helps promote open communication and creative solutions.
Can mediation be done online or remotely?
Yes. Many mediators offer remote mediation via Zoom or other platforms. This is especially helpful for busy schedules or when parents live in different cities. Online mediation still requires confidentiality and good faith participation from both parties.
