Eidelman & Associates Preparing For The Child Custody Mediation Process | Page 6

Each parent is also encouraged to create a document laying out the terms for child visitation. Having a document like this helps each parent determine their desires for the terms of child custody of the child/children in question. Having those documents prepared also allows the mediator to work with either party to come to an agreement regarding those terms. For example, either parent could establish terms for dropping off the child/children at the other parents' home, detailing locations and the type of transportation they plan to use in the document. Being prepared to work with the other parent is essential to conclude the child custody mediation process in a relatively civil way.
