What is family mediation?
An alternative way to resolve divorce or family law disputes which avoids
the traditional battle of solicitors or going to court.
What is mediation?
Mediation is the process by which separating couples seek to reach an agreement about matters relating to their children, finances and property. Couples discuss these issues in the presence of a trained, independent third party - the mediator. Mediators do not make decisions. Their role is to help couples:
- Co-operate
- Resolve conflict
- Reach joint decisions
- Focus on the needs and feelings of the children
Benefits of mediation
Mediation is usually much quicker and less expensive than going to court.
- You keep control of the process. So often when solicitors or the courts get involved, strangers start to make decisions on your behalf without you being in control.
- It helps separated couples to communicate and co-operate to reach agreement.
- It is less stressful than going to court.
- It is confidential.
