10 things that could happen legally and emotionally after mediation (in the family court or privatley)

Are you about to go to mediation or have you just completed a mediation and are wondering what happens after, if you agree. In this Family Law episode we discuss 10 things that happen emotionally and legally after you settle at mediation. Our Family Law specialist expert explores what to expect if you have walked out of a mediation with a verbal agreement,  a written agreement or signed consent orders. We then look at what you do with your agreement or orders. This is  a great episode for those about to start the separation process or who are going to mediation so you know what might happen next and what you should aim for and do after.
