When considering mediation referrals for dissolution of marriage cases, this chapter says the court's main considerations should be whether the parties in a case are able to pay for mediation services and whether mediation is appropriate in helping resolve the dispute. It also sets a limit of 60 days for a mediation to be completed after a case is referred, unless the time period is extended by a court order, agreement of the parties, or on the recommendation of the mediator.
