Family Mediation
This service is offered by our Family Department.
Anyone who now wants to bring a case before the family court about their children or money, when they want to divorce or separate, has to show that they have considered mediation. Applicants are expected to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting before your papers are sent to court and a new form should be completed to confirm to the Judge whether a meeting has been attended and mediation considered.
What is mediation? A neutral qualified third party meets with a couple to discuss issues following a separation or marriage breakdown and can help the couple resolve issues they may have about money or their children. This can cover anything from how to divide savings and sort out the home to arrangements for parents to see their children or where those children will live.
Why mediation? If a case goes to court, a Judge may make a decision that neither person may like or even agree with. At mediation decisions can be made by the couple involved together. Mediation is cheaper than attending court and can pave the way for a couple to communicate with each other into the future, which is particularly vital when a couple has children.
