Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Family Law- visitation
if there is a contract made up that was not agreed upon, can a mediator judge submit it to the court even though it has not been signed and enter it into the court and have it be valid? Doesnt the agreement have to be signed by both parties?

If the mediator drew up an agreement and it was to be signed by the parties, it wouldn't be submitted to the court until signed. However, if the parties through mediation reached an oral agreement which the mediator said he/she would describe in the form of a memorandum of settlement that would be sent to the judge, it would typically be circulated to the parties for their review first, but wouldn't necessarily be signed by them.
