If you received a notice from the court, simply follow the instructions to go to the site and start your negotiation. Either party can make an initial offer, then the opposing party may agree to that offer and/or provide a counter-offer.  Hopefully, both parties will be able to come to an agreement that resolves the case.

If settled, an agreement will be prepared automatically, both parties will approve of the agreement and it will become an enforceable agreement by the court.              

During the first two weeks of negotiations, if an agreement has not been reached, either party may request the help a trained mediator. If the other party agrees to mediation, a mediator will be assigned to your case and will contact you to assist in reaching an agreement. All this is done online.

If after 30 days you have not settled your case, the online negotiation will end, and your case will go forward in the court system. If you are the Defendant and have not filed an answer with the court, you must file your answer within 15 days to avoid a default judgment.
