The separation and divorce family mediator should provide you with a specific guide to preparation in advance of that meeting, usually by email. At the initial consultation the mediator will provide additional guidance for preparation for divorce mediation / family mediation. Typically parties will prepare income, expense, property and debt information, including tax returns, pay stubs. A financial statement for a Maryland Separation or Divorce matter is a useful tool to help parties organize this information. http://www.courts.state.md.us/family/forms/dr31.pdf
