With respect to the various issues, consider what

With respect to the various issues, consider what you really want and need as an outcome. Review your options, write them down and prioritize what is most important to you. Be prepared to think in terms of what is a mutually satisfactory resolution for both of you and for your children. Be ready to express your feelings about what you need as a resolution and why. Open your mind to a range of possible resolutions of the issues and commit yourself to give the process a chance.

For instance, ask yourself, “What is a fair and reasonable outcome that I can live with?”, “What ongoing relationship do I need or want with my partner?”, “What settlement options will be acceptable to both of my partner and me?”, “What do I want for my children in terms of their relationship with each of us individually and as their parents?”

These are just some of the questions you are urged to consider before you start mediation and begin the challenge of joint problem-solving.

Mediation can start as soon as you and your partne

Mediation can start as soon as you and your partner agree to proceed with mediation and confirm the availability of the mediator. Some mediators interview each of you separately before the first joint session. You can start meditation at any time during the legal or negotiation process.

A mediator usually drafts a summary or draft agreement of what was agreed to. Then the mediator, or if you have counsel, one of your lawyers, formalizes final terms in a Separation Agreement or Minutes of Settlement. Your agreement is not binding and enforceable until you each obtain independent legal advice and have your signature dated and witnessed on the
final document.

Even if you do not reach a final agreement in mediation, you may be able to reach a partial or interim agreement, define the balance of the issues, plan the next procedural step in litigation, decide on what you can do to protect your children from any dissension between you.

In a family mediation, negotiations can be “clos

In a family mediation, negotiations can be “closed” such that anything said is done on a confidential basis and cannot be used in a court hearing. Or you can choose “open” mediation. In this case, if things do not settle, the mediator can complete a report that may be submitted to the court on relevant matters about the mediation, as well the mediator may be subpoenaed by either of you to report to the court about the mediation and the dynamics between you and your partner.

Even if the mediator is a lawyer, he or she does not act like a judge by making decisions. Nor can the lawyer-mediator give legal advice of specific application to your case, but may provide information of a general nature. The lawyer-mediator cannot represent either of you.

Mediation is a process facilitated by a neutral me

Mediation is a process facilitated by a neutral mediator when two parties are in dispute. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties, but provides a structure so that conflict can be reduced, areas of common ground explored and a mutually agreeable solution found.

A mediator can help you reach an agreement at any stage, whether you are just starting negotiations, when communications have broken down or when a lawsuit is already in progress.

It is also prudent to initiate mediation in order to avoid a future dispute. A mediator can assist you to examine areas of possible future conflict and help find a solution while you are both in a positive and cooperative frame of mind.

The goal of mediation is the resolution of disputes to the satisfaction of all parties. Productive relationships can be resumed, especially if the mediator is brought in during the early stages of conflict.
