Family Mediation Hackney

Mediation is a method that empowers and enables families to find their own solutions in a constructive manner, with aim of preserving co-parenting ties.

First, individual sessions designed to:

• Confirm that mediation is appropriate for all parties and investigate any safety issues;
• Comprehend the problems and the couples’ needs regarding the mediator’s facilitation of the sessions; and

Then, the parties attend joint sessions with the mediator, who assists them in:

• Set their own priorities;
• Hear one another’s worries; and
• Think imaginatively about methods to resolve the situation.

The emphasis is on collaborative issue resolution. Couples are more involved in their own solutions; thus, they are more likely to be effective in the long run.

Mediation is not limited to divorced couples; it may also be used to negotiate prenuptial agreements, unmarried couples, co-parenting, and alternative family arrangements. It may be utilised immediately for couples who are considering divorce but have not yet made a final decision. Mediation fosters a positive tone and gives a forum to discuss, for instance, how to inform children about their parents’ separation.
