Post-decree mediation addresses disputes that arise after the final decree has been entered. Common post-decree mediation issues include parenting schedule changes, relocation requests, support modification, enforcement disagreements, and disputes about how the decree should be interpreted.

Post-decree mediation is often faster and less expensive than post-decree litigation because the parties already have experience with the mediation process and already have a factual baseline from the original case.

Some decrees require mediation as a prerequisite to filing any post-decree motion. Even when it is not required it is almost always worth attempting before going back to court. All parenting plans require mediation before court to resolve disputes.
