Mediation preparation

Identify the topics to discuss, where you already agree, your priorities, and your questions.

Appointment to consider

A mediator is neutral and does not represent either party. Role, suitability and any conflicts must be checked before an appointment — this is your choice, not a legal assessment or a confirmed booking.

One party's selection is not verified agreement. Do not conflate one-party representation with a neutral appointment.

Optional. If free or safe participation is a concern, consider individual assistance before joint discussions.

These are personal preparation notes — not a confirmed appointment.

Discussion topics

Note each topic and your self-reported agreement status. This is your view only — not a legal assessment, and one party's selection is not verified agreement. You can edit, add, or remove any topic.

  • Your own view only — not a verified or shared agreement.

  • Your own view only — not a verified or shared agreement.

  • Your own view only — not a verified or shared agreement.

    Optional prompts for parenting discussions

    • Everyday routines and who handles what
    • Handovers and travel between homes
    • School terms, holidays and special occasions
    • Practical needs and equipment to consider

    These prepare a discussion only. They do not collect children’s names or school details, recommend a care split, or create a binding parenting plan.

  • Your own view only — not a verified or shared agreement.

A mediator is neutral. Role, suitability and any conflicts must be checked before an appointment. These are personal preparation notes — not a joint account, not a shared workspace, and not a signed settlement, parenting plan, court order or decree.

Priorities

What matters most to you — in your own order. Not a legal risk score.

    Questions for the mediator / your own attorney

    What you want to understand or ask. These prepare a discussion — they are not a signed settlement, parenting plan, court order or decree.
