Post Divorce Decree Issues

[marie]

I am in the State of Colorado

I was informed that mediation is required for all post divorce decree issue before any action is taken in court - even contempt of court proceedings cannot be iniatiated without first goin through mediation.

Do you know is this is correct? and if so which statue?

Thanks

I have no idea. Sorry. But, I don't see how mediation could be required for contempts, since the defendant has an absolute right to remain silent in a contempt hearing.

Pretty wierd.

I don't see how it could be required either for a contempt hearing.  Either an order is being followed or it's not and if it's not being followed why mediate? I had a lawyer/mediator tell me this and I get the feeling he just wants to make some $$$$.  

Thank you anyway for you reply
