Mediation: How to Handle Hurdles

Listen Later

I. Mediation is an opportunity to compromise. To create a settlement that works for everyone.

  1. It’s not an argument.
  • It’s not therapy.

    •  

    II. People should know the law going into the mediation, and be prepared to work around the law for a compromise that benefits both spouses.

     

    III. Typical Mediation Challenges and How to Handle Them

    1. Spousal Support (alimony) is a non-starter.
  • Separate Property Money (inheritance or savings) became community property money.
  • I will only accept a 50/50 custody.
  • I’m not addicted to drugs. I just take them recreationally.
  • I’ll do what I want on my co-parenting time.
  • I’m going to be working less; I’ve been wanting to enjoy life more. (And there’s child and spousal support to pay.)
  • If you leave me I’ll take you for everything.
  • Lose my last name.
  • I have no money.
  • What to do when one or both spouses are angry, or one spouse is crying.
