Child custody mediation will undoubtedly come when during your divorce and child custody dispute. Mediation is almost the norm in the 21st century, so there's really no way out of it. So you should be prepared to meet with a mediator so the entire process will go smoother. This article explains how I, as a single father, did really well during the mediation process and was awarded full custody of my little girl. There are other things I did that went well, but for the sake of this article we'll only focus on the top three ways to be prepared for child custody mediation.
Understand What Mediation Is
As soon as I heard I was going to meet a custody mediator, I quickly educated myself as to what child custody mediation is. I did this before the internet was so readily accessible, so I had to depend on other people and the old fashioned library. However, I quickly learned that child custody mediator is there to make my life difficult. He was there to help decide what was best for my daughter. Once I understood that, I was more than willing to meet him.
The Mediator Makes It Less Stressful
Since there was a mediator involved, there was really no reason to argue with my ex-wife about custody issues. We both presented our cases, met with the mediator and the mediator reported his findings to the judge. From there, the judge based her decision based on the mediator's findings.
You can make it even easier on yourself, and the mediator, if you welcome the mediator into your own. Just act like you are having a friend over to tea or coffee. Remember, this is a non-confrontational meeting. The child custody mediator has nothing against you. He or she only wants what is best for your child. So be friendly. Be kind. And most importantly, help the child custody mediator feel welcome in your home. Remember, their job is not easy as it is. So don't make it harder for him or her.
Be Prepared For Your Meeting
When I met him, I had all my ducks in row. From my work schedule, to my daughter's daycare schedule, who picked her up from daycare, what she ate for meals on a regular basis, what books I read to her, movies we watched, television shows we watched and even what kind of vitamins I gave her. I wrote down everything I did with my daughter and showed it to the mediator. When he came to visit my home, he saw that what I was saying was true. Bottom line, I try the best I can to be the best parent I can to my daughter. I simply showed that to the mediator, and everything worked out just fine.
Mediation is not designed to hurt anyone, or cause hard feeling or hardship. It's set up by the judge simply to help out your child in the custody battle. The mediator should be viewed as a friend and not a foe.
