Divorce Mediation Can Depend On Your Attitude

March 31, 2016 by West Coast ADR

There are several ways that the outcome of a divorce can be decided. In some cases, the two parties might go through the mediation process to determine if they are able to come up with a divorce settlement. There are several different factors that can affect the outcome of the mediation. One of these factors is your demeanor during the mediation process.

You might not think that your demeanor really matters, but negotiation techniques that are used during mediation are the same as those used during a business negotiation. You can’t go into the process wearing your emotions on your sleeve. Instead, you have to remain level headed and calm throughout the proceedings in British Columbia.

That isn’t to say that it is easy to keep control of your emotions during the process. Often, it isn’t all that easy. Still, it is important for you to remember that anger and rage can easily backfire on you during a mediation session.

The key to making mediation work is being able to communicate. This means that you and your ex must be willing and able to talk things out. There is a mediator present to help, but only you and your ex will be able to decide on the parameters of the settlement.

One way that you can help to keep control of your emotions during mediation is to properly prepare. Understand the laws that pertain to your case. Know what your options are. Be willing to compromise. You should decide ahead of time how much you are willing to compromise on each point so that you have a starting point for the session.
