Family Mediation
Family Mediation is a process designed to resolve family disputes with the help of an independent, trained mediator. This process is particularly beneficial for separating couples dealing with issues related to children, finances, and other family-related matters. The mediator facilitates negotiation, helping to find a solution that works for both parties.
In most cases of divorce or ending civil partnerships, attending a court hearing is not required. However, where there are issues related to children and finances, the Court will expect the parties to consider mediation before applying to the court to hear their case.
Less Conflict, Anxiety, & Stress
Mediation promotes open communication and understanding, reducing conflict and the associated emotional stress.
Easier Transition for Children
By resolving disputes amicably, mediation can help to minimise the impact of separation on children.

Book Your MIAM?
MIAM is a pre-mediation session with a mediator to discuss issues needing resolution and assess if mediation is suitable. If not, the mediator can help explore other resolution options.
Speedier Resolution of Issues
Mediation typically resolves disputes more quickly than court proceedings, allowing families to move forward sooner.
Better Decision Making
Mediation empowers both partners to make decisions, leading to outcomes that are more likely to be mutually acceptable.
Significant Cost Savings
Mediation is typically less expensive than litigation, reducing the financial burden on families.
Improved Communication
Mediation can help to improve communication and cooperation between separating partners, which is particularly beneficial when children are involved.
