Divorce Mediation And Disability
Summary
In Colorado, divorce mediation typically involves a single neutral mediator, but parties can have their own attorneys. Mediators cannot provide legal advice. If you have a cognitive disability, you can request mediation exemptions or accommodations by filing a motion with supporting medical documentation. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination, ensuring access to legal services. If you mistakenly file a writ of certiorari in the wrong court, you can refile with the U.S. Supreme Court, including a letter explaining your disability. The Supreme Court may overlook minor procedural errors due to cognitive disabilities, but its essential to provide a thorough explanation. Consider seeking legal aid or consulting with an attorney for personalized guidance.Full Conversation
