Mediation Planning Session: Your Foundation for Success

Embarking on the journey of divorce can be overwhelming, but with the right preparation, you can navigate this challenging time more effectively. Our Mediation Planning Session is designed to lay the groundwork for a successful mediation process, ensuring you feel empowered, informed, and ready to engage in constructive dialogue with your spouse.

Why Choose a Mediation Planning Session?

Choosing mediation over litigation signifies a commitment to collaboration and finding mutually agreeable solutions. This session is not just an introduction; it's an essential step that equips you with the tools and strategies to participate effectively in the mediation process. Here's what you can expect:

1. Setting the Stage for Mediation

In this session, you'll reflect on your motivations for pursuing mediation and outline your hopes for the process. By clarifying your objectives, you'll gain a better understanding of what you want to achieve, whether it's a fair division of assets, the well-being of your adult children, or emotional closure.

2. Structured Preparation

As part of your preparation, you will receive a free sample of the Restorative Divorce Journal and the mediation workbook. These resources will guide you in addressing past experiences and envisioning your future, helping you process your emotions and set clear aspirations as you prepare for mediation.

3. Comprehensive Mediation Workbook

In the planning session, we'll discuss the importance of completing essential homework, such as:

  • Gathering parenting information
  • Filling out a financial affidavit
  • Collecting necessary financial documents

This thorough groundwork ensures that you have all the information needed for informed decision-making during mediation.

4. Mastering Respectful Communication

Clear and respectful communication is vital for achieving success in the mediation process. We'll discuss ground rules for respectful dialogue and equip you with techniques to maintain a positive, productive conversation with your spouse. This emphasis on respectful communication can significantly influence the outcome of your mediation sessions.

5. Addressing Concerns and Questions

You're encouraged to voice any concerns you may have about the mediation process, including your spouse's readiness to participate. This open dialogue will help you feel more secure as you prepare for the joint session.

6. Preparing Your Narrative

Together, we'll help you create a chronological narrative of your marriage breakdown, highlighting key events that led to your decision to mediate. This organized account will assist in clarifying your perspective and needs during mediation.

Next Steps: Empower Yourself for Mediation

By the end of our Mediation Planning Session, you will:

  • Organize your thoughts and financial information
  • Reflect on your past and current situation
  • Prepare emotionally and mentally for the mediation process

This session is not just a preliminary step; it's your first step toward a more manageable and constructive divorce experience.
