When people work together to resolve their California divorce through mediation, the last step in this process occurs when the spouses execute what’s known as a Marital Settlement Agreement, or MSA, that’s presented to the court for approval.  If the MSA is approved by the court, the marriage will be legally dissolved and the terms contained in the MSA will govern the post-divorce relationship between the parties.  Generally, this process is best completed with the help of experienced San Diego divorce mediation lawyers.
