Readiness for the mediator's chair.
Why readiness matters for Rule 31 mediators
When parties sit down, emotions run high and the issues are personal, financial and often family-defining. A neutral cannot afford to scramble over a missing screening record, a local rule in one of Tennessee's 31 judicial districts, a child support worksheet that does not add up, or a Report of Mediator deadline nobody tracked.
Readiness means the intake is complete, the stage gates are cleared and the deadlines are known before the joint session opens. With the preparation done, the mediator can give full attention to the people and the negotiation in the room.

Visit Sterling Readiness GroupWhat the product is and isn't
- It supports the mediator. It never advises the parties.
- Every calculation and document is a working draft for the mediator to review. It does not replace the official DHS child support calculator, the AOC forms, or the court's order.
- Nothing is filed or sent without the mediator's own action.
