Mediation is not a substitute for the services of an attorney, but
rather a more appropriate use of
attorneys. Legal advice is necessary to protect the legal rights and obligations of the
concerned parties.
Both husband and wife are encouraged to seek legal review of their agreement and to
consult with an attorney on specific questions of law. The mediator will provide the
couple and their lawyers with a complete Memorandum and Understanding, which articulates
the specifics of the agreement. It is not necessary, however to "retain" an
attorney for mediated agreements.
