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 decisions
  • Greater control – unlike in a lawsuit, parties are in control of the mediation process.
  • Parties have a 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:

  • How possessions will be divided
  • What happens to the family home or any jointly owned properties

Family mediation is much quicker and less demanding than heading straight to court. It is generally less expensive too. Mediation allows you to solve issues before they  become drawn out legal battles.
Family mediation enables families to keep control of their own fates. It assists  settlements over parenting, finances and residential or jointly owned property, instead of handing control over to the courts.

Anyone can choose not to attend family mediation, or if mediation breaks down, you or your ex may 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 or FM1) as proof that you have actually thought about or attempted mediation.

The majority of mediation is conducted  via Zoom, or, Skype now offering both safety and convenience. This means that geography and travel is no longer a barrier for mediation. In addition we offer online shuttle mediation which means you do not have to be in the same call as your ex partner. Shuttle mediation allows you to speak to your mediator and they will go between you both in separate calls.
