To start
Ben will provide you with an intake/consent form which will gather your contact information and the contact information of the other party. The intake/consent form will also form the part of the contract to working with the mediator, including applicable fees.
To conduct a mediation session a mediator must complete an assessment of individual circumstances and be sure that mediation is suitable to proceed. This will occur at a pre-mediation where Ben will ask you questions about:
What you are hoping to achieve at mediation
What you want to discuss at mediation
How the mediator can facilitate the mediation so that you can participate effectively
What your understanding of the relationship dynamic and communication style is with the other party
Whether there are any risk factors present for your or your children, such as family violence or child abuse
What you believe your childs needs are
If you are discussing property matters Ben will ask you for information about:
Assets and liabilities
What you believe the percentage of distribution of the assets and liabilities should be
Your ideas and suggestions for ways to distribute assets and liabilities
Prior to the mediation you will receive in writing an agenda. This will cover what the other party wants to discuss at mediation.
At the mediation Ben will support each of you to cover agenda items and put forward perspectives and proposals. Ben will facilitate your conversations and will maintain a focus on the discussion points, and will document agreements and shared understandings. You will receive mediation notes after each mediation session you have with Ben.
