Court-Ordered Mediation: What to Expect Now

Quick answer

When a judge orders divorce mediation, what do they learn about it? Very little, explains New York divorce mediation attorney Bill Leininger. After the sessions, the judge receives only a brief note reporting one of three outcomes: the case settled, the parties refused to attend, or mediation was attempted but unsuccessful. The substance stays confidential.
