Court and Mediation Preparation

Prepare with Confidence, Clarity, and Composure

Walking into court or mediation can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life — especially when your co-parent exhibits high-conflict or narcissistic behaviors. The pressure, emotions, and unpredictability can leave even the calmest person feeling overwhelmed.

At High Conflict Resolutions LLC, our Court and Mediation Preparation Coaching helps you stay centered, focused, and credible — no matter how tense the environment becomes. Coach Michelle equips you with the mindset, strategies, and emotional tools you need to show up as your most composed, effective self.

Why Court and Mediation Preparation Matters

In high-conflict family situations, how you present can often matter as much as what you present. Without the right preparation, even the most reasonable parent can appear reactive or “high conflict” under stress — especially if provoked by a manipulative or antagonistic co-parent.

Through personalized role play, communication strategies, and mindset work, Michelle helps you:

  • Disengage from conflict in the courtroom or mediation setting without taking the bait

  • Respond calmly and strategically to false allegations or provocations

  • Maintain emotional regulation even in triggering situations

  • Project credibility and composure to judges, mediators, and evaluators

  • Understand court and mediation dynamics — and what decision-makers are really looking for

  • Know how to Document – we can help you organize and document your evidence so that it is presented in a compelling way

You’ll leave your session prepared, empowered, and able to advocate for yourself and your children from a place of confidence, not fear.
