The Role of Presentations in Divorce Mediations

Divorce can get messy, especially when it comes to dividing assets and negotiating child custody. Before any couple goes to court, it’s recommended they try mediation first to see if they can find a cost saving way to come to a positive outcome for both parties. 

Mediation can take time but if you have a good lawyer and all the facts presented in an efficient way then it can make the time go fast. In this article we’ll cover the role of presentations in divorce mediations and how they can help you long term. 

The Importance of a Presentation in Mediation 

Presentations aren’t used as much as they should be in divorce mediations. It’s important to remember in order to present your side you need to make it as clear as possible. Here’s why presentations matter:

They provide clarity when communicating. Presentations have the ability to help get your point across to the other party in an easy to understand way. Clarity is very important in a divorce medication, as if something is misunderstood it’s really hard to undo it after the mediation has finished and parties have moved on. 

They can help you establish credibility for your case. When you present your facts using a presentation in an organized way, you demonstrate that you’re serious about the mediation and about the process of finding a peaceful resolution. 

They encourage open dialogue. A well thought out presentation has the ability to open positive dialogue instead of confrontation. By presenting your case clearly and opening the floor to constructive communication, both parties are able to discuss it in a civil manner. 

Presentations are a great option for mediation when divorce is involved. Whether you’re planning to mediate yourself or you’re looking to hire a ct divorce lawyer to help you, consider using presentations in your divorce case. 

Strategies for an Effective Presentation in Mediation

When you want to create a presentation for your mediation, here’s some tips to help make it as effective as you want it to be: 

Gather all relevant information which can include, property deeds, financial statements, child custody evaluations and any other important information. 

Define the goals you’re hoping to achieve during mediation. Work out what you’re willing to compromise on and what your non-negotiables are. This will help you stay focused during the mediation when emotions may be running high. 

Structure your presentation to provide your main arguments in a logical way using examples and data to support why something should be done a certain way. 

Use visual aids to help illustrate financial situations clearly, to show timelines of important events, or to handout summaries of key points. 

Practice your delivery to help you boost overall confidence especially when emotions may be high. 

Remain flexible during the mediation and remember, especially when kids are involved, most parents will want to see their children.
