Family Mediation Service

Mediation gives you the opportunity to see if you and also your challenger can collaborate to fix your disagreement.

WHY CHOOSE MEDIATION?

Mediation has a high success rate.

When conflicts arise, finding a peaceful resolution is often fraught with emotional and legal challenges, particularly in matters close to the heart, such as family disputes. In the UK, mediation has become an increasingly popular method to resolve these issues amicably, avoiding the strain and expense of court proceedings. Mediation not only offers a path to understanding and agreement but also promotes healing by empowering individuals to control the outcome of their dispute.

Why Choose Mediation

Mediation stands out as a beacon of hope for many because it prioritises communication and negotiation over confrontation and litigation. It’s a confidential process where a neutral third party, the mediator, assists those involved in a dispute to find a mutually acceptable resolution. The advantages of choosing mediation include:

  • Cost-effective: Significantly cheaper than going to court.
  • Time-saving: Resolutions can be reached much quicker compared to the lengthy court process.
  • Flexible: Solutions are crafted by the parties involved, tailored to their unique needs.
  • Confidential: Unlike court proceedings, what is said in mediation stays in mediation.
  • Less Stressful: A less formal, more supportive environment reduces the emotional toll on all involved.
  • Understanding these benefits is crucial for anyone considering mediation. It’s a pathway to resolution that respects the emotional wellbeing of all parties involved while saving time and money.

What is a MIAM

A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) serves as the first step in the mediation process. It’s a meeting (either face-to-face or online) with a trained mediator to discuss the nature of your dispute, whether mediation is suitable for your situation, and how the mediation process works, including costs and timeframes.

Attending a MIAM is now a legal requirement before applying to a UK court for a decision on family disputes, except in certain circumstances such as evidence of domestic violence or urgency

Why Choose a MIAM?

Choosing to attend a MIAM can often be the turning point in resolving a dispute. It offers several benefits:

  • Awareness: It provides a clearer understanding of what mediation entails and how it can help.
  • Obligation-free: Attending does not commit you to continue with the mediation process.
  • Judicial Requirement: Fulfilment of a legal prerequisite if you eventually decide to go to court.

Help for Grandparents

Grandparents often play a vital role in children’s lives, yet they can find themselves sidelined during family disputes. Mediation offers a space to express their concerns and desires to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren, fostering a dialogue that acknowledges their meaningful contribution to the child’s life.

Help for Parents

For parents navigating separation or divorce, mediation focuses on effective co-parenting arrangements, addressing everything from living arrangements to financial support. This cooperative approach helps lay the groundwork for a positive, ongoing relationship, crucial for the welfare of any children involved.
