The mediation supported by lawyers is the "non-hostile alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approach to resolve disputes, such as resolving family issues at the time of divorce or separation, including child support, custody issues and property sharing".
This approach aims to integrate the contribution of family lawyers or lawyers with family mediators. The mediation users supported by lawyers first met with their respective lawyers to receive advice before joining the mediation session. Legal advice is taken between sessions to inform the options being discussed in mediation. After mediation, lawyers are required to review any agreements reached and to make them legally binding. Since no attorney is initially detained as a negotiator or litigator, the cost of legal advice is usually set for clients who choose mediation supported by lawyers.
In the event that supported mediations lawyers fail to grant partial or full agreement, both parties are free to defend their respective lawyers to pursue litigation. This is not a case of collaborative law where details in round table negotiations require each side to instruct a new family lawyer before proceeding with court action.
