How Can You Successfully Navigate Divorce Mediation?
Splitting from your spouse can be a tough decision to make. Fortunately, divorce mediation can help you separate from one another without adding the stress of duking it out in a courtroom. But how can you make the most of this process? Here are a few tips to help you get what you want and navigate divorce mediation successfully.
Understand that you’re not going to resolve every issue with mediation. This is key to making sure that you come out of mediation with a great settlement between you and your former spouse. Compromise is often what ensures that mediation is successful for divorcing couples.
Dividing your assets is almost never going to be an even 50/50 split, but when you can both agree on a reasonable compromise, you’re more likely to have everyone come out on top.
It’s also important to understand what your mediator can and can’t do. As a mediator, they will not take sides, but they will seek to achieve resolution for each party involved in the mediation process. When you work with a great mediator, you should leave your sessions feeling like at least something was accomplished.
Divorce isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but mediation may help you come out on top.
