The key to a smooth mediation process is preparation. Your mediator may ask you to gather documents to prepare for your session. These documents should include property and debts owned both individually and together.

Your mediator will ask you questions about your property and debts, such as the date acquired, how the property is titled, and the approximate value of these items. In mediation, it is helpful to prepare copies of these documents and statements for your partner so that you both can have an informed discussion and make decisions together about the disposition of your properties or debts.

It is important to fully share and disclose all assets and debts, jointly and separately owned. If you need help preparing these documents, a spreadsheet may be useful (see below), or consider reaching out to a qualified professional such as your accountant, attorney, bookkeeper, financial advisor, or property appraiser.

Gathering these documents yourself will save you time and money in the long run. It may seem overwhelming at first, but a knowledgeable and qualified mediator will assist you both during the process.
