The Different Ways Mediations Can End With Tye Bourdony
Tye Bourdony of https://cplspa.com with Natalia Olowska-Czajka and Mac Pierre-Louis of https://olowskapierre.com discuss how mediations can end; providing examples of the most common scenarios:
- full agreement (MSA – Mediated Settlement Agreement) – where parties reach full agreement on all topics discussed
- partial agreement – where parties are able to agree on only some of the issues at stake; leaving the rest of them unresolved or for the court to decide
- temporary agreement – where parties want to try a certain solution; if it works for the both of them in practice, e.g. temporary visitation
- impasse – where no agreement is reached, with focus on the “beneficial impasse”; where something good comes out of the fact that parties did not reach any settlement – and why – further explained in this video
- adjournment – recess – continuation – where parties need to take a break or get access to some resources, such as a lawyer’s advice or check some numbers to come to mediation better prepared
