What is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce mediation is a process where an third-party mediator helps separating couples discuss the terms of their divorce. It focuses on working together and communication. In turn, the divorce mediation process encourages couples to reach mutually beneficial agreements outside the high conflict atmosphere of a courtroom.

Before entering mediation, compile a comprehensive list of all financial documents, including current balance statements for bank accounts, retirement accounts, and any liabilities. For a more detailed list of documents check out our property division checklist .
Gather all documents related to debts and liabilities, such as loan statements, credit card bills, and any outstanding financial obligations to ensure a transparent discussion on settling shared financial responsibilities.
Analyze your financial obligations and income thoroughly to understand spousal support entitlements or obligations.
Develop a comprehensive parenting plan addressing joint versus sole custody, detailed schedules including holidays, potential relocations, and decisions on education and healthcare, ensuring the child’s welfare is prioritized.
Ready your discussion on child support by considering and gather all necessary documentation that shows childcare expenses, educational costs, contributions to child trust funds or college, insurance coverages and any other considerations needed to fully address your child’s financial needs.
Be ready to establish protocols for ongoing communication, tax information exchange, and dispute resolution.
