Do's And Don'ts Of Child Custody Mediation

You've decided to take the mediation route to work out a post-divorce parenting
plan for your children. Mediation will frequently resolve your divorce issues
and help both of you into a peaceful separation. You do need to have some
tricks up your sleeve in order to get the best outcome for yourself and your
children.
It's always a good & wise idea to do your homework before entering the
meeting room. Time is valuable, so don't squander it by not understanding what
you want and approaching the situation with the wrong attitude. Here are a few
do's and don'ts for mediation:
● Do put your children's needs first.
● Do consider their unique needs according to their age, character, and
educational development.
● Do separate your child support payment and other divorce issues from the
child custody negotiation in the session.
● Do acknowledge your ex-partner's parenting strengths when the
opportunity comes up - it shows you are a willing team player in your
kids' care, even though you are divorced.
● Do bring with you a personal calendar of your work schedule, holidays,
and the children's timetable of activities.
● Do prepare your own proposal for a child custody time-sharing plan.
● Don't withhold your children to punish your ex-spouse.
● Don't be combative with your ex-spouse in these meetings. Although you
are in a challenging situation, bring a fair, business-like attitude with you.
● Don't hide valid concerns about the other parent's ability to care for the
children in certain areas or situations.
