Mediation is a popular alternative dispute resolution method in divorce or family law matters. Many opt to participate in mediation seeking a settlement outside of court. Many picture being alone in a room with the mediator and the other party. In that room, they envision a scenario where both parties and the mediators talk, devise solutions, and resolve the case. Sometimes, having both parties in the same room is not a good idea. Arguing and bickering might occur if the parties are in the same room. The arguing and bickering might inflame the situation so that a settlement does not occur.
