FAQ
Common questions
Is participation voluntary?
Yes. Everyone chooses to take part and can step away. Any agreement is made by the parties, and no result is guaranteed.
Does the mediator take sides or give legal advice?
No. The mediator is neutral and does not represent or advise either side. Consider independent legal advice about any agreement.
How do sessions take place?
