The mediator will ask you what it is that you are looking to get out of the process, and educate you on what is typical for most people, so that you can reflect on your own expectations. There really isn't much for you to 'do', because you already know what you want. The real work begins AFTER that initial mediation meeting.
Remember, the mediator can't force either party to take anything. They are trying to get you both to give up certain things and come to an agreement. I listened carefully to what the mediator suggested to do and/or research, based on the initial intake meeting. It made it more focused. If you do a bunch of work now based on your assumptions about the process, it will be wasted energy.
