Mediation for Divorce: Divorce is one of the most challenging life events, and it often involves disputes over property, finances, and child custody. Barclaydevere's mediation services can provide a less contentious path for couples to dissolve their marriage, ensuring that both parties have a say in the decisions that affect their lives.

Financial Disputes: Money matters can often lead to family strife. Whether it's disagreements over financial support, property division, or spousal maintenance, mediation can help families find equitable solutions while minimizing the financial and emotional toll.

How Does Family Mediation Work?

Initially, the mediator discusses the problem with both parties to understand the conflict’s root cause. This includes understanding everyone’s wants and needs, identifying the underlying issues, and working on potential solutions. The mediator will then have subsequent meetings with each party to understand their perspective, enabling them to speak openly and honestly without direct confrontation.

The mediator then works with both sides to agree on a formal proposal, detailing the agreed-upon outcome. If successful, the agreement becomes a legally binding decision and enforceable in court.

Family mediation is not just for separated couples and married couples. It is for everyone who faces family disputes.

It can help resolve conflicts between grandparents, siblings, or friends, and even between parents and children. It can be used to resolve issues such as arrangements for children, separation or divorce agreements, property or financial matters, family disputes or communication problems, and other family law issues.

Initial Consultation: Barclaydevere’s mediators conduct an initial consultation to understand the nature of the conflict and determine if mediation is suitable for the situation.
Preparation: Each party is encouraged to reflect on their needs and goals before the mediation sessions.
Mediation Sessions: The mediator facilitates constructive conversations, ensuring all parties have an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings.
Exploring Options: During mediation, families explore various options and solutions that address their specific needs and concerns.
Resolution and Agreement: Once agreements are reached, the mediator assists in documenting the agreed-upon terms and conditions in a formal agreement.
Post-Mediation Support: Barclaydevere offers post-mediation support to ensure the agreement is understood and followed, and provides assistance with any necessary modifications.
