MEDIATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a mediation settlement agreement?

A Mediation Settlement Agreement is a written contract that records the terms the parties agreed to during mediation. It can be used in family law, business, employment, or other disputes. In family matters, it often covers property division, support, custody, and parenting schedules.


Is a mediation settlement agreement legally binding?

Often yes once signed, but enforceability depends on local law and whether required formalities are met (like court approval in custody cases). This template includes a “subject to court approval” option where applicable.


What should be included?

Include: parties, case information (if any), what issues were resolved, specific settlement terms, deadlines for payments or transfers, releases, confidentiality (optional), and how disputes will be handled. This template includes flexible sections you can tailor.


Should it be filed with the court?

Sometimes. If it’s part of a court case, the parties may submit it for approval or incorporate it into a final order. This template includes a section to state whether it will be submitted to the court.


What if one party doesn’t comply?

The agreement should include enforcement options, deadlines, and attorney fee provisions if allowed. This template includes a default and enforcement section.
