WE ARE NOW OFFERING CLIENT APPOINTMENTS ON ZOOM OR FACE TO FACE
Family mediation helps if your relationship has broken down and you need to sort out practical issues such as:
- Arrangements for children – where they are going to live and when you’ll see them
- Child maintenance payments
- Sharing finances (e.g. house, savings, pension)
- Dealing with any debts.
What are the benefits?
Family Mediation
- gives you more say about what happens. In court a judge will make the decisions. With mediation you and the other party make the decisions.
- is less stressful, with less conflict between you and your partner. If you have children it is less upsetting for them. It can help find ways for everyone involved to get on better in the future.
- improves communication and helps you sort out your future.
- agreements can be reviewed and changed if you both agree – e.g. if your situation changes, and as your children get older and have different needs.
- is easier on your children when parents co-operate and helps them continue important family relationships.
- is quicker, cheaper and provides a better way to sort out disagreements than long drawn-out court battles – helping you to get on with the rest of your life as quickly as possible.
- £500 towards the cost of mediation. The Ministry of Justice and Family Mediation Council are continuing to offer financial support towards the cost of mediation for separating families with children to help avoid stressful court battles.
