Mediation: how to prepare without a list of accusations

The purpose of mediation

Mediation is not a stage for delivering a winning speech. It is meant to help you settle practical rules that reduce the chaos around your child.

Prepare three lists

• your child's matters that need to be settled,
• events and dates without judgements,
• proposed solutions.

What not to prepare

Do not prepare a list of insults, diagnoses of the other parent, or private screenshots containing your child's data.

A good sentence

"I want to agree on how we pass on information about the child's school, health and appointments, so that the child does not become a messenger."

After mediation

Write down what you agreed, the date, and the questions that need legal advice.
