- GuardianshipThis depends on various factors but can be determined by you, your spouse, and the attorney. Generally only certain family law cases—ones involving equitable distribution, alimony, post-separation support, or claims related to separation agreements—will be ordered to participate in mediation. A small amount of proceedings, such as estate, guardianship, and boundary and partition cases, may be ordered to mediation. Mediation is very common and many people choose to go this route.
