Can mediation help with post-divorce disputes in California?

Yes, mediation can be used to resolve post-divorce disputes, such as modifications to child custody or support orders, parenting schedule adjustments, or other issues that may arise after the divorce is finalized. Often, Judgments will include a provision that the parties are obligated to attempt to resolve their post-divorce disputes in mediation before proceeding with a hearing on the matter. Such a provision must be based on the agreement of the parties as part of their Mediation Agreement and Judgment.
