​Long Breaks Between Sessions  


Long delays between mediation sessions (months and years) are not unusual.  People are adjusting to their new circumstances (emotionally and financially) and do not have any pressing need to finalize their Agreement.  When one or both wishes to finalize the Agreement, or an issue arises in the interim, parties return to mediation to proceed.  
 
This is an acceptable way to use mediation.  The individual issues that could bring people into mediation are changes in income that require a change in how bills are paid, a child changing residence, or a child leaving for college. When returning to mediation, the financial information (income and account balances for example) is updated depending upon the circumstances.
