Did You Know?    
 
 
In divorce actions, mediators often are involved in custody and visitation disputes.
In some jurisdictions (particularly large urban areas), courts require mediation of custody and visitation disputes. The mother and father must talk with a court-appointed mediator to try to resolve the problem before putting their case before a judge. The mediator cannot force a resolution, but the parties can be told to try mediation before coming to court to ask a judge to decide the issue.

The consequences of limited divorces vary from state to state. Typically, a limited divorce is commonly referred to as a separation decree; the right to cohabitation is terminated but the marriage is not dissolved and the status of the parties is not altered.

A little less than half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. The current divorce rate is down a few percentage points from a peak in 1981, but the current divorce rate is almost double what is was in the 1950s.
