Divorce comes with many decisions—big and small—that can be overwhelming and confusing. Whether you’re a parent figuring out a parenting schedule or a couple without children dividing property, divorce is like being in a foreign land with a foreign language. Just like google translate and a handy phrase guidebook might help you while traveling in a confusing new place, structure and tools help couples navigate divorce with more clarity.
These free divorce mediation checklists give you a clear, step-by-step roadmap.
They’re designed to help you:
- Prepare for your first mediation session
