If a court sends me to mediation, do I have to agree to settle my case?
No. At most, courts can require you to show up and try to settle your case. They cannot force you to settle on any terms – even terms that a mediator might think fair. You have a right to say no.
In any mediation, court-ordered or otherwise, you always have the right to leave if you are dissatisfied with how the mediation is going or feel you are wasting your time.
