Divorce is always emotional and stressful. During a mediation process, your emotions can be easily triggered. It is safe to plan accordingly, prepare yourself on how to manage your emotions during the session.

Don’t overreact to an offer

Every resolution has a starting point. You should avoid focusing on the inadequacy of a previous offer that you stop the conversation. Occasionally, the first offer in a divorce mediation process is strongly rejected. However, the agreement might be reached when the conversation moves to an advanced level.
