Preparing for Mediation

Wednesday, February, 27, 2013


 

Usually we will obtain information about our new client and their background, children, finances, assets, and reasons for a divorce at the initial conference.

 

When we prepare for mediation or maybe have our staff prepare a client for mediation what do we concentrate on?


Current status of:


Children


Job


Residence


Value of assets:


House- with current pay- off


Car with current balance


Retirement - years in the plan, plan administrator


Stocks, well maybe not,


Debts current and at time of separation


How are you getting along with you estranged spouse?


How is access working out and how has it varied fro temporary orders?


What issues are unresolved?


Are you ready to finalize your divorce?


After explaining the mediation process, what do you want to try to accomplish at mediation?
