Divorce mediation gives parties the opportunity to decide what’s best for their children, assets, and other property rather than proceeding to potentially contentious litigation. And under Wisconsin law, if the parties disagree on custody and placement of children, they’re required to undergo mediation to try to reach an agreement.
