Episode 8 Attorney Wright saw an interesting question posted on an online legal forum recently: Will I look bad if I refuse mediation? Reasons not to go may be many, but there could be consequences in court if your refuse. What does that mean for your case? What will the judge think? Are you putting your case at risk? Do you run the risk of giving the family law judge the wrong impression if you refuse to try to settle your case through the conciliation process?Although the conciliator/mediator is impartial, has family court experience and is trustworthy, you still may not be able to see yourself sitting down with your ex at the same table. Maybe you suffered abuse and trauma and you don't feel safe, or maybe you still just have unresolved anger issues and it's just too much to deal with.
