Mediation

Mediators help you to find solutions to the issues that you face on the breakdown of your relationship in a safe and supported environment.

In mediation we will refer you to one of our experienced mediators who will sit with you and your partner and will help you to identify and try and reach agreement on the issues that you cannot agree on.

A mediator is not a judge and will not impose any decisions on you. The mediator, using their experience will guide you and your partner to explore the options and find solutions that work for your unique circumstances and those of any children that you have.

The mediator is a neutral third party and will facilitate conversations between you that you may be finding difficult to have following the breakdown of your relationship.

Benefits of mediation

  • Reduces conflict
  • You keep control of the process and of any decisions
  • Meetings take place at a time of your convenience
  • It focuses on the needs of your children
  • Ensures confidentiality
  • Quicker, less stressful and dramatically cheaper than court

Seek legal advice as soon as you can if:

  • you are at risk of having nowhere to live
  • you are at risk of domestic violence or abuse
  • your ex-partner is not giving you enough access to your children
  • you are in a vulnerable financial position compared with your ex-partner
  • you are unsure what a fair settlement between you would look like
  • you have a lot of assets
  • you got married abroad, or you, your ex-partner or your children have non-UK nationality
