 Mediation / Dispute Resolution & Custody Plans

All mediation require a free consultation prior to booking

***Mediation length of time is not determined by the mediator. In mediation, YOU are in charge of all aspects of the results. Only the parties involved can project their needed length of time for mediation. If a party is aware that they will need multiple days of mediation due to stressed communication between the two parties, it is advised that you purchase a mediation package. It will save you money in the end. We apply a 10% discount to all packages. 

Mediation packages tell the judge and other parties involved, that you are aware that you need more than a day to come to a reasonable dispute resolution.

If you cannot afford a mediation package up front. It is the responsibility of the parties involved to communicate their needed longevity of mediation. It is okay to need more than a day to come to a conclusion. However, the parties are responsible for all the planning that is involved with enhancing your mediation process. You can either consult your attorney for ideals on how to speed your mediation process or you can plan some portions of the needed mediation in advance. Mediators are not ethically allowed to give either party legal advice.***

This information provides suggestions on what to do next. CAUTION: This document is not legal advice. 

If you have legal questions you should ask an attorney. Only an attorney can give legal advice. 

We cannot provide legal advice. We can provide the following general information to help guide your next steps. 

IF YOUR CASE SETTLED: 

  • The mediator will bring the original signed Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA) to the DCDRC office Room 681 on the 6th floor of the George Allen Court Building. 
  • The DCDRC keeps the original MSA, and will provide each party with a copy. 
  • The DCDRC will not file the MSA or any other papers with the Clerk of your court. 
  • The DCDRC will send a report to your court stating only that the case settled. 
  • Usually within 30 days, the court will want you to file additional documents so the case can be finalized, closed, and removed from the court’s docket. 
  • It is your responsibility to prepare and submit any documents that the court needs for the case to be finalized and closed. You may need an attorney to assist you in preparing these necessary papers and taking appropriate action. 
  • For a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship or divorce cases, in mose instances, you will need to schedule a hearing to “prove-up” the divorce or Parent-Child Relationship change. 
  • TODAY before you leave the courthouse, talk with the Court Coordinator of your court and ask what else you need to do so the case can be finalized and closed. 
  • Should you file your MSA with the Court Clerk? That is a question the parties must answer, and it should be discussed as part of the mediation process. 
  • You should know: 
    • Any document filed with the Court Clerk can be viewed by the public. Therefore, if your MSA contains any confidential informationthat you don’t want viewed by the public – such as Social Security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, and bank account information – be sure it is blacked out before filing. 
    • Some parties choose not to file their MSA because they want the terms of settlement to remain confidential. 

 

IF YOUR CASE DID NOT SETTLE: 

  • The DCDRC will report to the court only that the case did not settle. The DCDRC will not file any other papers with the Court Clerk.
  • TODAY, before you leave the courthouse, talk with the Court Coordinator of your court and ask what else you need to do so the case can proceed. 
  • It is your responsibility to prepare any documents necessary for the case to proceed and then to submit them to the court. There are rules and procedures that must be followed on a timely basis.
