Handling Your First Mediation in a Divorce Case 2024

Product ID: CA3628R2
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

A mediation education

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. So, lawyers practicing family law, and those looking to start a family law practice, should be prepared to engage in mediation.

Attend Handling Your First Mediation in a Divorce Case to develop the skills and confidence you need to take family law cases to mediation. You’ll find out what you can expect at mediation and why mediation is the better route in some family law matters.
