Q1:	I'm a senior at the University of Oklahoma and have been searching for information on mediating as a career. I have had no success so far. I would appreciate if you would send me as much information as possible. [RESPONSE]
Q2:	What training would you recommend to become a professional mediator? [RESPONSE]
Q3:	In your experience, has mediation ever led to reconciliation between the parties? [RESPONSE]
Q4:	A friend is having trouble getting the mother of his child to follow the mediation agreement. How does my friend, who does not have the financial resources of the mother, get this agreement enforced? [RESPONSE]
Q5:	My spouse and I have decided to divorce. We have two children. My spouse feels it’s best to hire a mediator instead of a divorce lawyer. I don’t really understand the difference between a mediator and a lawyer. Do we use the same mediator? Money is an issue for us. Is it less expensive to hire a mediator as opposed to a lawyer? [RESPONSE]
Q6:	Could you please tell me the main and most important steps of a mediation process? [RESPONSE]
Q7:	I am interested in voluntary mediation to handle a family law (i.e., divorce and custody) matter. I believe that mediation makes much more sense. But I want to be reassured about the confidentiality aspects of this process. Will the attorney we utilize be subject to the ethical code for lawyers as well as for mediators, thereby assuring his compliance with issues of confidentiality? And does this process begin in the very first conversation? [RESPONSE]
