What is Family Mediation?

Family Mediation is where a professionally trained mediator helps yourself and your ex come to an agreement on various issues, such as: parenting arrangements, child maintenance payments, finances and property disputes.

During mediation, no one is forced to do anything they do not want to do, thus allowing you to stay in control of the situation. The trained mediator will have an impartial view of your circumstances and will help you find a solution which works for both of you.

What are the benefits of Family Mediation?

Family Mediation is a beneficial way of exploring different options in order to work out which will be the best option for you, your partner, and children. The process requires patience and communication, but with this it can encourage families to come to their own decisions, therefore preventing them from stressful, damaging and costly Court Proceedings.

Mediation sessions take place in a confidential and non-judgemental environment to ensure families feel safe to discuss their problems and anxieties freely, in order to make arrangements for the future.

The sessions allow for both parties to come to an amicable agreement regarding financial arrangements and their children.

How does it work?

The great thing about the process of Family Mediation is that it can be tailored to suit your needs, availability and preference. There are numerous ways in which a Mediation session can take place, such as:

• Face-to-face meetings: In face-to-face meetings,   both parties are present in the same Mediation room with a trained   Mediator. The role of the Mediator in this instance is to impartially   facilitate clear communication between couples.
• Shuttle Meetings: We understand that individuals   need time to reflect on their needs separately from others. During   Shuttle Meetings individual parties will have their own separate and   private room. In this case the Mediator will move between each room and   update each party on the views and proposals made by the other.
• Remote Meetings: There are occasions whereby it is   difficult to be in the same place at the same time, and due to the   Coronavirus outbreak, carrying out remote Mediation sessions has  allowed  for us to continue assisting those who require them. In the  appropriate  circumstances remote Mediation sessions may be suitable and  offered to  parties via the use of Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp video  calling. Remote  Mediation can take place using the ‘face to face’ or  ‘shuttle’ process.
