Family Mediation Aylesbury Services
In cases involving family mediation, the old adages “time is money” and “timing is everything” take on a renewed truthfulness.
In mediation, the length of the entire proceedings as well as the final agreement’s success can be dependent on critical issues involving timing. Some of them are literal timing concerns – like the meeting time for the mediation sessions. Others, however, may involve the speed at which one individual wants to move forward with the mediation versus the other parties needs
This strategy should also be applied to any relatively recent family issue such as a divorce. All this is a result of non- communication. When people go on without communicating with each other for long intervals it gives rise to doubts and suspicions which lead to bonds getting weaker within the family.
If one parties involved do not wish to proceed with mediation then the mediator will issue a form FM1. This form is to be taken to court and presented either by means of a solicitor or self representation. Court proceedings will then proceed.
One thing when it comes to divorce is the process comes with a lot of stress for the entire family. However, choosing to have a mediator to help you come up with the best solution that will leave all the members comfortable can reduce the stress levels. Mediation is confidential and any details about your divorce is kept strictly within mediation.
Parents are usually ones who need mediation and tend to choose this method of settling their issues. This is one of the best methods since it is cheaper and less-traumatising compared to court divorces. Since the process is peaceful, afterwards parents are able to keep on living peacefully as co-parents. In most cases, the process happens where both parties are on an online call together with the mediator.
Mediation reduces the tension and issues surrounding the children. As for the financial issues, the mediator helps the parents come into a conclusion that will ensure the children are well-catered for at all times.
Family members may end up arguing and fighting over issues which can lead to dispute. This is where our mediators come into play. Our team provide services to families that are dealing with sensitive issues like disputes over divorce, property or child access. If solicitors are involved it can be extremely costly, long and painful. Further complication is where the parties involved cannot agree on the share of the aforementioned equity.
Deciding on issues around children can become easier if they are involved in the mediation process, we are able to offer child inclusive mediation for when your children need a voice within the conversations. Mediation saves you money because you are taking control of the process and decision making.
A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is the initial step in the mediation process, particularly in family disputes. During a MIAM, a trained mediator meets with the parties involved to explain the mediation process, assess its suitability for their situation, and provide information on other dispute resolution options.
This meeting typically lasts about an hour and helps determine whether mediation is a viable path forward. If mediation is deemed appropriate, the mediator will guide the parties on the next steps. Attending a MIAM is often a prerequisite before taking family disputes to court, ensuring that all parties have considered mediation as a potential solution
