How to Begin Mediation
Before scheduling your first mediation session, we will speak with both parties. There is no charge for this consultation. We use this initial meeting as an opportunity to describe our mediation process and answer questions you may have. We want to give you as much information about mediation in advance of your first appointment, without charge. During this session, the couple reviews and signs the "Mediation Agreement", which is an agreement between the couple and the mediators concerning the basic rules and understanding of the mediation process. When you come to the first session, we are then able to utilize most of our first session as a working session.
First mediation session
During the first session the mediators begin to work with the couple to define the issues and discuss options. The parties will often have work to do outside the session to prepare for our next session.
Session length
Typically, each session length, including the first session, is one and a half to two hours long. Anything less than that does not provide sufficient time to work on the issues and make noticeable progress.
Subsequent mediation sessions
Future mediation sessions continue to focus on the issues to be resolved, with the mediators working with the couple to guide and facilitate communication and to explore all possible options. Generally, at the convenience of the couple, sessions are scheduled depending on the parties' needs. It is important that the parties allow enough time away from the mediation process to consider the evolving agreement and to research and gather information.
Your Memorandum of Understanding
Drafting your Memorandum of Understanding is an extremely important task. This Memoranda will include your parenting plan as well as the division and distrobution of your assets and the written form of your Memoranda is the culmination of your work and efforts throughout the mediation process. We then meet with you to review the final draft of your Memoranda and revise it, if necessary. This agreement would then be reviewed with your attorney for submission to the court.
Post-Divorce Parent Coordination
Sometimes there is recurring conflict and non existing communication after the couple has been divorced. Sometimes the visitation schedule needs to be changed. Post-divorce parent coordination through Mediation can assist parents improve their communication so that they can better discuss issues which pertain to their children. Schedules change which result in having to change the plan. Mediation sessions can often quickly and effectively help resolve scheduling changes or disagreements in a more cost effective manner.
