How Sessions Typically Work
Post-judgment mediation follows the same neutral structure as the original matter, focused narrowly on what has changed and what the parties agree to propose going forward.
Support modifications and time-sharing modifications are different conversations with different legal thresholds — counsel can frame which applies before the session. When the change is narrow and both parties are aligned, a single session is often enough.
What to Have Ready
- The current order
- Documentation of the changed circumstances
- Your availability going forward
When this process is not a fit
Mediation is voluntary and only works when both people can speak for themselves and the conversation can stay balanced. It is usually the wrong tool when there is an injunction or a history of domestic violence that would compromise the process, when assets appear to be hidden, or when a party needs emergency court relief.

Counsel remains counsel. Agreed terms are written down for review and drafting by each party’s own attorney. The mediator does not give legal advice, interpret a governing order, or file anything with the court.
