Does the mediator take into consideration the emotional issues that are happening? My wife is leaving me for an old b/f and totally blindsided me. I have been to counseling, need anti depressants, the whole thing. Or do they just look at assets? Would a judge consider emotional stress in his/her decision? thanks

Hi bigtimehurt.
In reading your post, I think your implied question is, "does the mediator take into consideratio the emoitonal issues that are happening in making his or her decision?"
Mediators are neutral. Therefore, mediators do not make decisions; instead, the parties do.
Mediation is different from litigation, where each party presents their side, and the Judge decides.
In mediation either party can address emotional issues. Although doing so may not necessarily contribute to a decision on any particular issue; it may be helpful to the "hurting" party to feel heard.
Hope the above answers your questions.
If you'd like to know more about mediation, including more on the role of the mediator, you can visit http://www.peacefulfamilyoptions.info for a free report; or http://www.fldivorcemediation.com.
Good luck,

Yes the mediator brings to light the feelings and facts on both ends in order for the parties to come to a mutual understanding or agreement

Mediators are supposed to be neutral! I think some in PA should study up on what neutral is!

A mediator should consider the emotions of the parties. However, those emotional issues do not impact the legal aspect regarding what a court might do if presented with the case. In that respect, your emotional turmoil has no impact. It does not affect the finacnial resolutions.
Mediators also take on the role of devil's advocate to try to move parties toward resolution. It does not mean they are against you, but they are presenting scenarios that may occur.
