Benefits Of Mediation

  • Confidentiality – meditation is a confidential process – the discussions cannot be used against either party as evidence in court.
    However, there are a few exceptions for example when there is a potential threat to human life or safety.
  • Voluntary – you cannot be forced to participate in the meditation process or forced to agree on your issues.
  • Neutrality and impartiality of the mediator – a mediator will help you seek mutually agreeable solutions to the issues you’re facing without taking sides.
  • Additionally, the mediator will not give advice or make any binding decision unless both parties give the mediator that power.
  • Greater control – unlike in a lawsuit, parties are in control of the mediation process.
  • Consequently, they have much greater say in discussions and over the outcome.
  • Child-focused –family mediation is focused on the needs and interests of your children. It also offers a platform for you and your spouse to plan for the future care of your children.
  • Preserves relationships – since meditation is a collaborative “win/win” process, it helps preserve relationships that would otherwise be destroyed through years of court.

Mediation FAQS

Family mediation can assist any family in the process of separating or divorcing.

For individuals who are separating or divorcing conversations can consist of:

With the help of a mediator, the program can be anything you both accept go over and moderate.

  • How possessions will be divided

Family mediation is much quicker and less demanding than heading straight to court.
It is generally less expensive too.
It allows you to form long-lasting services that remain in your household’s benefits.
Family mediation enables families to keep control of their own fates. It assists form settlements over parenting, cash and residential or commercial property, instead of handing control over to the courts.

Anyone chooses not to attend family mediation, or if mediation breaks down, you or your ex might wish to make an application to the court. Unless there is a reasonable exemption to attend family mediation, it is a UK Family court requirement that an FMC accredited family mediator signs off the proper court form/s (c100/form a/fm1) as proof that you have actually thought about or attempted mediation.

The majority of mediation includes the couple meeting the mediator together.

If this is not safe or acceptable we can offer  to meet you independently– either at different times or in different spaces. This is called shuttle mediation.

Also we conduct mediation via zoom, whats app, skype and facetime offering both safety and convenience

Each mediation meeting lasts in between 1 and 2 hours.

Usually 1 or 2 meetings will be required however some problems can be figured out in a single session.

Mediation even when they need several meetings are normally finished within 1 to 3 months.

If you decide to go down the court route this takes anywhere between 6 to 18 months. So mediation is much faster
