What is Mediation?

Family mediation is a confidential process where an impartial mediator helps parties involved in a family dispute communicate effectively and work towards mutually agreeable solutions. Unlike litigation, which often escalates conflicts, mediation fosters a collaborative environment, empowering parties to have control over the outcome.

Benefits of Family Dispute Mediation

Control and Flexibility: In mediation, you have a say in the outcome, unlike court decisions.
Confidentiality: Mediation is private, unlike court proceedings which are public record.
Cost-Effective: Generally, mediation is less expensive than going to court.
Time-Efficient: Resolutions can often be reached more quickly compared to litigation.
Reduces Conflict: Encourages communication and cooperation, preserving relationships.

Family Law Mediation Checklist

Preparing for mediation in family law matters is crucial to ensuring a smooth and effective process. Whether you’re navigating custody, child support, spousal support, or divorce, having a comprehensive checklist can significantly aid in your preparation.

Understand Mediation Goals –

Clearly outline what you aim to achieve through mediation. This could involve specific arrangements for child custody, a fair division of assets, or a mutual agreement on spousal support.

Gather Essential Documents –

Include financial statements, a list of assets and debts, and any court documents related to your case. Digital copies are often preferred for easy sharing.

Consider Child Custody and Support –

If applicable, familiarize yourself with child custody basics and prepare to discuss a parenting plan that serves the best interests of your children.

Insurance and Future Planning –

Be ready to negotiate the handling of insurance policies and how future communications will be managed post-mediation.

Mental and Emotional Preparation –

Mediation can be lengthy and emotionally taxing. Ensure you’re well-rested and bring necessary items to stay comfortable throughout the day.

Although not always necessary, consulting with a lawyer can provide you with a better understanding of your rights and prepare you for the mediation process.
