How Long Does The Divorce Mediation Process Take?
Most couples need just 2 to 4 sessions with the divorce mediator and on average, the family mediation process takes 6 - 12 weeks for most couples…but there is no set timeline. You go at a pace which works for you. We space our meeting weeks apart and each session last 90 minutes or so. We set aside two hours.
Some of that time is spent gathering documents and submitting them to the mediator, some is spent negotiating the issues and some is spent drafting the divorce agreement (which in mediation is called a Memorandum of Understanding) and other paperwork.
Most people do not file their divorce paperwork until the mediation is finalized, and you can expect there to be another few months of time getting your divorce finalized.
