Who pays for court ordered mediation?

BENEFIT: Mediation is a low-stakes process.
Mediation’s informality compared to the standard adversarial process is an advantage. When a dispute is settled by mediation, neither the rules of evidence nor the law of the land apply. When using online mediation, parties don’t have to go to court and can instead settle their differences in private.

An added bonus is that the parties themselves get to decide what happens.
The mediator’s role is different from that of a judge. The Mediator’s role is limited to providing assistance to the Parties while they attempt to resolve the disagreement. The Parties get to decide what their ultimate settlement will look like. This is not a one-sided procedure. It’s important to note that the outcome is not determined by just one side.

The likelihood of a settlement depends heavily on contributions from both parties. Any proposal made by either Party is subject to a 50% veto from the other Party. Self-determination theory helps Parties figure out how to provide for their families in ways that make sense to them. As part of their right to “Self-Determination,” the Parties also have the option of abandoning Mediation and going straight to court.

MEDIATION HELPS PARTIES FIND RESOLUTIONS THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE.
All Party initiatives are thoroughly analysed from a practicality standpoint. That is to say, the answers proposed must be practical and doable. The parties in a mediation session discuss their respective visions for the future. Unlike in court, mediation does not dwell on the past or evaluate previous actions.

MEDIATION HELPS DECREASE THE INTENSITY OF THE CONFLICT, SO IT IS BENEFICIAL IN THIS RESPECT.
The mediation process helps to reduce tensions amongst the parties involved. Staying focused on the future helps keep moral debates from escalating. In doing so, tensions between the Parties are not further exacerbated.

An advantage of mediation is that it helps keep families together.
Mediation helped keep the peace in a contentious family situation. However, litigation has been shown to have a deleterious effect on familial bonds.

PRIME BENEFIT: MEDIATION COULD SAVE YOU TIME
Arbitration does not have a strict time limit. This process can happen anywhere and at any moment. Being an informal procedure, it does not rely on the accessibility of a Court or a Judge. Any time and date that works for both the mediator and the parties can be set.

Mediation is advantageous because it helps parties avoid spending unnecessary money.
Taking anything to court is a costly endeavour. There are numerous unseen expenses associated with litigation, but there are none associated with mediation.

FACT THAT MEDIATION IS OPTIONALLY ACCEPTED AS A SOLUTION
The decision to participate in Mediation rests entirely with the parties involved. They are more likely to follow through on their agreements if they have some say in whether or not the disagreement is settled and how it is settled. This reduces the likelihood that they will continue to disagree in the future on the terms of the Agreement they have reached.

One benefit is that the mediator can maintain objectivity and equilibrium during the process.
The mediator will not pass judgement on either side. The Mediator does not make any decisions on the matters at hand. The Mediator acts as a neutral third party who facilitates discussions between the Parties in an effort to help them achieve an agreement to end their dispute.

Mediating a dispute can help because it is private and unbiased.
All information shared throughout the mediation process will remain private. In order for a decision to have legal force, it must be reduced to writing and signed by all parties involved.
