In order to book mediation, both parties have to attend their own individual initial assessment (1-hour each).
Once that is complete and you are assessed that mediation is appropriate for your circumstances, then you are able to book your first mediation session.
Typically, there are about 4 two-hour sessions: parenting time, child support, spousal support and property division. One area like parenting time may take longer than another area like spousal support but overall, these areas are typically discussed over 4 2-hours sessions.
In the end, how many sessions is dependent on how each party is willing to cooperate with the process. If a decision cannot be reached on one issue, we will move on and return to it later. If the issue continues to not be resolved then the mediation report will still be created on what you both agreed upon and any issue unresolved can be disputed with your lawyers through the court process.
