Arizona Request for Pre-screen Mediation is a process for couples who are in the midst of a divorce and are looking for an alternative to litigation. This type of mediation process allows the couple to work together in an effort to reach an agreement on issues such as child custody, child support, spousal support, division of assets and debts, and other matters related to the divorce. The mediation process is facilitated by a trained, impartial mediator who helps the couple to discuss their issues and come to an agreement. The Arizona Request for Pre-screen Mediation is available to couples who are either unmarried or married for less than 5 years. The process begins with both spouses filing a Request for Pre-screen Mediation with the court. The court will then appoint a mediator and schedule a mediation session. The couple will then meet with the mediator to discuss their issues and come to an agreement. Once an agreement is reached, the mediator will prepare a written document outlining the terms of the agreement for both spouses to sign. There are two types of Arizona Request for Pre-screen Mediation. The first is referred to as "Traditional" mediation, which is a voluntary process and is typically less formal than court proceedings. The second type is referred to as "Compulsory" mediation, which is a court-ordered process and is more formal than traditional mediation. In both types of mediation, the mediator will help the couple to work together towards a resolution.
