5 Questions to Prepare for Divorce Mediation

May 24, 2019 By Stephanie Dobson

  1. What are the 5 most important goals you would like to accomplish through mediation and why?  What would your ex’s be and why?
  2. What are your 5 biggest concerns / worries about the separation / divorce?  What would your ex’s be?
