Mansfield Divorce Attorney Discusses How to Approach Mediation

I am often asked as a Mansfield Divorce Attorney how someone should approach the mediation process.  In Massachusetts, mediation is used quite frequently as a tool to help parties divorce. The  best way to approach it is with an open mind and without any set parameters that are not flexible as to what you would like. Of course it’s always helpful to come in with an idea that you’d like or what you think the problem areas are in your divorce but that’s not even necessary. Sometimes people don’t want to discuss the terms of a divorce with their spouse, they’d prefer to discuss it in a neutral setting in front of a mediator. I advise clients as a Mansfield Divorce Attorney that the mediator can take all that information and put it together for you and come out with an agreement that you can then use to obtain the divorce.
