What is family mediation and how does it work?
If you are going through the divorce process with your ex partner, deciding to mediate can offer the best service and give acceptable compromises for resolution.
The mediation process begins with your Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM), where you meet with your trained mediator to discuss your situation and receive general information about mediation.
This initial meeting is crucial for understanding how your mediation sessions will work, the cost, the time expected to complete and the potential outcomes you can hope and should understand.
From there, your mediator will and assessing whether mediation is suitable for you.
During the MIAM, you will receive information about the costs involved in mediation, including any potential legal fees and court costs associated with divorce proceedings.
Book your MIAM today with our UK Family Mediator to learn more about the benefits of mediation.
Once you decide to proceed with mediation you’ll work closely with our qualified family mediators who are registered with the Family Mediation Council (FMC).
The experienced family mediator shuttles between you and facilitates discussions between you and your ex-partner to ensure a safe environment for both parties.
Together, you’ll address issues such as child disputes and child arrangements, financial contributions, and practical steps for moving forward.
The goal is to reach a mutually acceptable agreement that benefits both parties and gives minimal impact to any children involved.
This agreement is documented in a legally binding format known as a consent order, which outlines the responsibilities and commitments of each party.
As your mediation progresses, you will work towards finalising a memorandum of understanding that captures all agreed-upon terms.
This document will provide clarity for everyone on roles and responsibilities moving forward, ensuring that both parties understand and adhere to the terms of the agreement.
Once mediation concludes, you may choose to explore additional support options, such as legal advice, relationship counselling, or collaborative law to strengthen ongoing communication and cooperation.
Mediation serves as a solution for family disputes over divorce or child access. You may also need to still seek court action and legal action beyond mediation however if a resolution cannot be reached.
