WHEN IS FAMILY MEDIATION REQUIRED?

Family Mediation

A divorce or separation may be a very complicated situation in which several new plans must be made for all involved. Family mediation is a mechanism that, instead of going to court, provides you with a neutral and competent mediator to assist you in reaching an understanding that works for both of you.

When a marriage or partnership fails, there are some steps a couple can take before splitting up. Examples include wealth division, child custody agreements, and coping with more complex issues such as land or pensions. If you are unable to reach an agreement on these matters, family mediation is an excellent option because it helps you all to have a say in the outcome. It also means that the agreement is achieved faster, less expensively and with fewer complications than going to court or disputing amongst attorneys.

In this article, we’ll talk about family mediation and when you may need to use it.

What is the role of a mediator?

Family mediation is a supervised mechanism that assists you in focusing on the problems that need to be addressed and, eventually, in moving on with your lives. It is not a time to look back on the relationship or assign blame.

Fixed Price Divorce Service conforms to a tried-and-true method of conflict resolution that emphasises achieving an accord. Progressive mediation is the reason why we are able to aid 90% of our customers in achieving a settlement, compared to the national average of only 70%.

We first consult with each of you individually before devising a strategy for your joint mediation sessions.

Mediation gives you the time and space you need to consider what is most essential for your children and the rest of your family. You can describe child arrangements that meet everyone’s needs now and in the future in a more relaxed and rational setting, with the help of a professional mediator. We also assist you in reaching an agreement on where you will both live, a reasonable division of your accounts, what could happen to your pensions, and any ongoing payments between you. Finally, we ensure that all properties are divided as cheaply as possible. Through our fixed-fee legal packages, all agreements concluded can be made legally binding.

when do i need family mediation?

Family mediation may be beneficial at any point of a divorce or separation. If you want to go to court, you must first consider mediation in most cases before applying to the court. However, several people feel that if they can initiate the mediation process, they are more likely to reach an agreement. It doesn’t even have to be in the same space for it to function. We may also assist with online mediation, which allows you to resolve all of your parenting, financial, and property problems from the comfort of your own home.

A court proceeding mediated by a mediator to resolve your financial issues would cost each of you more than £20,000 each. It will also require three separate court appearances which will take an average of 11.5 months to complete. A court case can build a hostile and toxic environment that can take years to settle. Under the oversight and direction of a vastly experienced and competent skilled mediator, family mediation offers a forum to reach an agreement that benefits everyone involved.
