What is Mediation?
Mediation is a process where families try to reach decisions and agreement on practical problems by facing them when their relationships break down, e.g. who stays in the house, how the savings or debts are divided and what arrangements ae made for the children.
Who or what is a mediator?
Our Mediators are specially trained in assisting couples resolve their family disputes
How can a Mediator help?
As an impartial party who is specially trained, mediators help parties set out what they need to discuss. They then help families discuss their options and find the best solution. The Mediator provides information impartially to the parties and records the solutions the parties reach.
What are the benefits of Mediation?
• It helps families identify and deal with their problems
• It helps in resolving problems
• It avoids hostility and minimises emotional stress for adults and children alike
• It allows people to make their own decisions rather than have a court impose a decision
• It can avoid the lengthy court processes.
• It can reduce costs
• IT can be FREE
How long does it take?
Each Mediation is different. Most sessions last for between 1 and 1 ½ Hours. There are usually, up to three sessions.
How much does it cost?
The Government publicly funds assessments. These are always Free and Confidential. Mediation is free for many people. It could be free for you. We will tell you if it will be free, or the cost if you are not eligible, at the assessment meeting.
