Why Mediation
Because mediation works...
Focused On What Matters to You
Helping you make the decisions that matter to you in a way that is unique to your situation and your family.
Cost Effective
Often significantly less than other ways of resolving issues. MoneyHelper, the government-backed financial guidance service, estimates that a financial dispute which progresses all the way to a contested final court hearing can cost £30,000 plus VAT or more in legal fees for each person. Arrangements for children can involve a separate court process, with additional legal costs depending on the complexity of the case.
Flexible and Person Centred
A process that adapts to you and your family's needs.
What is Family Mediation
Mediation is a confidential process where an independent, impartial mediator helps you and your former partner explore the decisions that need to be made — such as about your home, finances and arrangements for children.
You probably never imagined you'd find yourself here, and it's unlikely to be a process either of you wants to go through. But there are decisions to be made, and how you make them really matters.
Mediation offers a way to work towards agreement, often saving considerable time, money and conflict compared with going to court. It gives you both a voice in the decisions that shape your future and helps you move beyond where you are now.
Even if you decide to go to court, you'll usually be expected to explore mediation first
