What is Mediation
Family mediation is a process in which a professionally trained accredited family mediator helps you work out arrangements for children and property and finance for a financial settlement following separation. It gives separating couples an opportunity to freely negotiate and to decide for themselves what to do about their children and finances, with help and guidance from trained and impartial mediators.
Mediation is:
✔ Faster than court
✔ More affordable
✔ Confidential
✔ Focused on your children’s wellbeing
✔ Designed to reduce stress and hostility
Four principles of Mediation
Mediation is Voluntary - Both of you have to want to mediate, and either of you can stop the mediation process at any time.
Mediators are impartial - The mediator does not take sides, and is always there for both of you. Mediators don’t give advice, although they do give information.
Mediation is confidential - The information you share with the mediator is kept confidential, with very limited exceptions. Information shared during the mediation process can't be used during any court proceedings if mediation wasn't successful.
The clients are in charge - The mediator doesn't make any decisions , both of you will need to make the decisions for the your future. The documents produced during mediation are not legally binding but can be given to a lawyer to create a legally binding document.
Family mediation is a structured, confidential process that helps separating couples resolve issues constructively.
