You can participate in mediation before or after anyone files anything in court and so initiates the litigation process. Between the date of filing and the date of your first or second court hearing, you may resolve all or most issues through mediation. In most cases it is best to get some advice from an attorney even if you expect to resolve everything through mediation.
