In divorce mediation in Ohio, a third-party mediator will help the two parties come to a mutually-agreed upon resolution. The two parties are responsible for establishing the terms of their agreement; the mediator will not act as an arbitrator or judge. Through divorce mediation, all issues related to the divorce can be resolved. These divorce issues may include the following: property division; financial matters; parenting schedules and responsibilities; alimony; and child support. Domestic violence victims who have concerns about their safety can speak with the assigned mediator, the hearing officer or their northeast Ohio divorce attorney.
