What is family mediation and how can a mediator help?
- Family mediation is a constructive way to approach the issues that arise during a separation or divorce. Mediation is a great way to ensure that you find a mutually beneficial outcome rather than leaving it in the hands of the courts.
- Mediation can help you decide where your children will live, how you are going to split up your assets, what will happen to the family home and dealing with parenting issues.
What happens in family mediation?
- A Nelsons mediator will be impartial – they do not take sides
- In the presence of our qualified Family Mediator both parties are able to talk through their concerns and needs
- Nelsons' mediator is an experienced Family Lawyer – which means she can help you find a common agreement.
- The mediator, however will remain impartial, so they cannot give advice on what you should do
- The Mediator will suggest ways of solving your problems or help you both to reach an agreement
- In family and divorce mediation the mediator is there to help both parties, this is unlike a solicitor – who would be appointed to act just for you
When should you use a Mediator?
- For most couples it is a less acrimonious, quicker and cheaper option than pursuing their differences through the Courts
- In many cases couples take their own independent legal advice before they see the Mediator
- In most cases a successful Mediation takes more than one session and you are free to see your own solicitor if you want to for legal advice in between sessions
- If agreement is reached you may need to go back to your own solicitor to help finalise agreement in a binding way
- Mediation depends on both parties wanting to find solutions
