How long does mediation usually take?
As mentioned above, all this varies depending on the complexity of the case and the situation you are in. The mediator will try to settle any conflict quickly and peacefully, but if there is a need for mediators, then there are many disputes. I think that in some cases it can reach 5-10 sessions for a couple of hours. My civil mediator in Vero Beach, settled my conflict in three sessions and I’m glad I reached out to him
The number of hours spent in mediation varies depending upon the nature and complexity of the issues and the personalitites and relationship of the parties. In our experience, most business disputes complete mediation in 1-3 sessions, of 2-3 hours each. Divorce cases can involve 3-5 sessions of approximately 2 hours. The mediation process relies on the parties’ communicating more directly with one another and is not slowed down by intermediaries or rules of evidence and procedure. This makes mediation an efficient process, cutting down on the time it takes to resolve the problem.
