You will sign an "Agreement to Mediate." The mediation session will focus on the future of the child or children. You and the other parent will be able to discuss what arrangements you prefer for the child or children's residence and parenting time (visitation). The mediator will explain the terms and procedures of mediation and will help you and the other parent reach an agreement on a parenting arrangement for your child or children. The mediator may speak to parties separately or together. The mediator has no power to impose an agreement, but more than two-thirds of parents who go to mediation succeed in agreeing to a parenting plan.
