Do you have to go to mediation if a judge requires mediation in a family dispute?
Yes and no. Yes if you are in a family dispute and/or the judge orders you too do so. No, simply if you are not in either case. You may also avoid this mediation if you can provide a creditable reason to prove it's not useful or hindering to you in some form or another. It also depends on where you live. If you live in the State of Florida, have children and file for divorce, then according to Florida Statute 61 set forth by the Florida Legislature, you have to attend mediation. (See link below) If a judge requires family mediation in a dispute, many couples would gladly entertain that option. A family law mediator acts as a neutral third-party to sit down and listen to each side in an unbiased manner. The ultimate goal is to get the splitting couple to work together so that they may find a resolution that they are both happy with. Family mediation gives the divorcing parties more control in the final decision making of all terms of the divorce. This is especially helpful when it comes to child custody matters. The last thing anyone wishes to do is to tear their family apart in a long, costly and emotionally-draining courtroom battle.
How does someone become a family mediator?
There are no set requirements in the US to become a family mediator. You do not have to be a lawyer. The family court system in most states sets a minimum number of hours of training and experience to be listed in a family court referral system. 40 hours of training has become a default standard in the profession, but most practitioners would say it takes many more hours than that. Many advise setting up a mentor, doing co-mediation (mediation with a more advanced practitioner), and volunteering at a community mediation center to get actual case experience. A community mediation center also provides an environment where your work can be evaluated and you can be coached.For a list of trainings, go to www.acrnet.org and click on "Find a training" on the left.see link
