What Are The Stages Of Mediation?
In general, there are five critical steps to a mediation session:
Convening the Mediation: This is where each side comes to the conclusion that mediation is necessary to come to a common ground in their divorce.
Opening Session: This is where both sides give their opening statements, as well as the mediator explains what he or she will serve.
Communication: A significant reason why couples end up in mediation is that they haven’t communicated with each other properly. When sensitive issues of divorce are brought up, there are a lot of one-sided arguments with rarely a conclusion unless a mediator steps in.
Negotiation: This stage tries to find common ground between the terms of the divorce and can help expedite certain issues each of them is facing.
Closure: This involves closing statements, with each party coming to a resolution or setting up another session to continue to try and resolve things.
