Description

This workshop is a two and one/half (2.5) hour interactive, case specific exploration of how the divorce mediation process works. Based on the book "Preparing for Mediation" by Greg Stone, we will prepare you to be able to mediate your divorce issues by creating realistic expectations, evaluating your options, what to expect about the mediator you have chosen, and giving you the basic tools to actualize a successful mediation. We don't want you to be an expert on mediation, but rather an expert on your case and how to use mediation effectively.

 

What you will accomplish

Along with learning how to effective utilize the mediation process to obtain the best results for you, a few of the things you will accomplish are:

• Understanding the basics of divorce mediation.
• Learn how to effectively utilize your attorney's skills.
• Identify your interests and your spouses interests.
• Comprehend how your family dynamics has influenced the conflict.
• How to use the mediator to advance your goals.
• Appreciate power imbalances and how to manage them productively.
• Learn how and when to make decisions that advance you goals.
• Diagnose the dynamics of communication between you and your spouse.
• Construct a written mediation plan of needs and interests.
• Analyze your communication style and unproductive dynamics.
