settlement mediation
When do I get my Settlement
<p>On May 8 I had a mediation with defendant’s  attorney we agreed on a settlement. How long do they have before they must pay me the agreed amount. It’s been over 2 months.</p>

<h2>What did you agree?</h2>
<p>They must pay you by the time that you agreed in the settlement that they must pay you. If you didn't agree then they must pay within a reasonable time. 2 months might or might not be a reasonable time depending on the circumstances.</p>
<p>Note that a settlement agreement from a mediation is not binding like a court or arbitration award. It is itself a contract and if you want to enforce that contract you have to follow the dispute resolution process in the agreement or, if there aren't any, sue.</p>
