A: In most cases, courts will view a signed mediation agreement as being binding. However, there are instances in which a court might choose to not adopt such an agreement. If the agreement relates to finances and there was inadequate financial disclosure a court might negate that agreement. If the agreement is grossly unfair as relates to property, alimony, etc., a court might void the agreement. If the agreement includes child support or custody terms which are either contrary to statute or truly not in a child's best interest, the court may also void such an agreement. A mediator is not going to provide legal advice, but most mediators will inform parties that they can be bound to an agreement they sign.
