Can I briefly outline one of my recent mediations (as opposed to arbitration, which is about settling a dispute and in which both parties agree to the arbitrators settlement).
The two parties A and B outlined their view of their sitch (in this case they weren't married). This arrived by email. I read both and asked questions of each party.
I discovered common ground and emailed that I felt there were certain facts and certain common ground issues. Then received feedback and adjusted.
Then I emailed again, met with each party separately and then both parties together.
I did a restatement document and looked for further common ground.
I met with each party and then together.
A settlement agreement was drafted and sent to Ls.
I am surprised there was only one mediation session between you. Do you need a different mediator perhaps?
