- Choosing the right mediator: One of the most important things you can do to make your mediation work is to choose a neutral mediator with whom both you and your spouse are comfortable working. If one of the parties feels uncomfortable or is intimidated by the mediator, the sessions will not work as well.
- Fostering the right attitude: Compared to more traditional courtroom litigation, ADR is a cooperative process that involves calm discussions and openness to being creative. If you come into your mediation or collaborative divorce session ready to battle it out, the process will not work and it will be a waste of time for everyone involved.
- Get your finances together: Just like divorce litigation, it is important to have a full grasp of the state of your finances and your expectations going into the proceedings. Talk this over with your attorney to make sure everything is organized in this regard.
- Behave: It is important to act appropriately during your divorce, as your actions could have a negative impact on your parenting plan and other issues that arise. If you are in a high-profile divorce especially, issues like social media postings can be extremely important.
- Trust your attorney: Working with Stange Law Firm, PC, you can trust your lawyer to know ADR thoroughly, walk you through every step of the process, and protect your interests.
