Making the process easier
Child custody disputes are emotionally charged and stressful for both parents and children. However, mediation is a more peaceful way to resolve child custody conflicts outside of court. It is a process that allows parents to work with a neutral third-party mediator to reach an agreement on child custody that works best for everyone involved.
To ensure a smooth and productive mediation process, it is crucial to be well-prepared. Here is a comprehensive child custody mediation checklist to help you prepare for the process.
Review your parenting plan
A parenting plan outlines how you and your ex-partner will share custody and responsibility for your children. Review your plan, and be prepared to discuss any concerns or suggested modifications during mediation.
Collect all important documents, including your child’s school records, medical records, and any legal documents related to your child’s custody.
Create a list of discussion topics – Make a list of topics that you would like to discuss during mediation, such as visitation schedules, holidays, and decision-making responsibilities.
Be prepared to discuss your child’s needs – Be ready to discuss your child’s current needs and how you plan to meet them in the future. This includes their education, extracurricular activities, and medical needs.
Consider your ex-partner’s perspective – Try to see things from your ex-partner’s point of view. This will help you understand their needs and make it easier to negotiate an agreement that works for both parties.
