The Truth About Binding Mediation Agreements

Quick answer

Can a mediated divorce agreement be overturned? Almost never, says Florida divorce attorney Bill Leininger. A mediation agreement is identical to the marital settlement agreement lawyers prepare in any divorce; once both parties sign it before a notary and the court accepts it, it's fully binding. Across 5,000 divorces in 45 years, he's never seen one thrown out.
