No special preparation is necessary for the first session. However, if there are specific issues that you 
need to address and you know that you will need to draw information from certain documents, then
we ask that you bring them with you to save time (such as court orders, prior agreements, financial
statements, mortgage information, etc.). Please understand that mediation is not a judicial
proceeding and the mediators are not triers of fact like a judge.

You may also bring any information that you feel will be helpful to discuss and share. During
the course of the mediation your mediator(s) may ask you to complete follow up work before
your next session or upon concluding mediation. This follow up can include such things as
collecting financial information, doing property inventories, providing special event calendars,
etc.

Much of this information you will be able to gather through an exchange of information that may
take place on your own or through the mediation process.
