How to Plan for Divorce Mediation Sessions
How many sessions does divorce mediation take? It varies, but Sarasota, Florida attorney Bill Leininger favors short, ninety-minute sessions over the marathon three-to-four-hour format some mediators use. Fragile or elderly clients may get an hour. Crucially, unlike a therapist's reserved block, he bills only for time actually used—so ending early after an emotionally draining hour costs nothing extra.
