Frequently Asked Questions
Is Online Mediation Legally Valid in Michigan?
In Michigan, agreements reached through virtual mediation carry the same legal weight as those from in-person sessions. Once both parties reach an agreement, it can be submitted to the court for approval. The process follows the same procedural standards regardless of format, and a mediator can explain how a finalized agreement applies to a specific situation during the initial consultation.
How Long Does Online Mediation Typically Take?
Session length depends on the complexity of the dispute and how many issues need to be addressed. Many matters are resolved within one to three sessions, though more involved cases may require additional time. A mediator will review the specific circumstances during the first meeting and provide a realistic estimate of how many sessions may be needed.
What Do Participants Need to Join a Virtual Mediation Session?
Participants need a stable internet connection, a device equipped with a camera and microphone, and access to a quiet, private space. No specialized software expertise is required. The mediator provides all technical details and session instructions in advance so that both parties can join without difficulty and focus on the resolution process.
