After mediation, you will either receive a Mediated Agreement or a letter indicating that no agreements were reached. At that point, the next step is the legal process, and any Mediated Agreement will need to be incorporated into the appropriate legal documents. If mediation was unsuccessful, you might need to take legal action as your next step. If you have questions about this process, the resources below can connect you with free or low‑cost legal services to guide you through the next steps and help you move forward with confidence.
