The parties agree to hire the services of a professional mediator rather than engaging in a court battle to address the issues that must be addressed in a divorce. The goal of the mediator is to help the parties compromise on important issues such as real and personal property division, child custody, child support, visitation, medical insurance, payment of marital debts, college plans for the children, etc.

The mediator assists in drafting an agreement in writing that is acceptable to each party and that will be approved by the court. A mediator may be an attorney who specializes in mediation, a retired attorney, a retired judge or a professional mediator.
