A clear head. You have to be clear about what is happening. There is always a personal element to litigation. You will need to deal with your own emotions and the emotions of others. The first task is to make sure you are not burying your head in the sand and denying there is a problem. You need to avoid acting on hurt feelings and to be aware when you are being bullied or manipulated.
The right information. You will need to do your research. What agreements are in place governing the relationship between the parties in conflict? Who said what and when? Are they bound by what was said and how does that affect reaching a resolution? Is information being hidden from you and how can you get it?
A clear goal. There is no point in getting involved in litigation or even just an argument, unless you have a clear idea of what it is that you want to achieve. Using all the information you have gathered, you will need to analyze it and understand what it means and be clear about what you are entitled to according to the law. You can set a clear, realistic goal.
The right strategy. You will need to consider, using the information you have and setting a budget, how best to achieve your goal. Is going to court the best way to proceed? How can negotiation, mediation or arbitration be used to get you the result you want?
