WHAT IS MEDIATION

Mediation brings disputing parties together in a controlled environment where the dispute can be discussed in a safe location or online, with or without solicitors. The process begins with the mediation's ground rules, such as no "name calling" or interruption while one party is speaking. Next, the parties may be broken into separate rooms to confidently discuss the party's concerns or ideas to help settle the dispute. The process is designed to help both parties come up with their settlement with the help of a Neutral and unbiased mediator.

Family Mediation Consultancy mediate cases, with one, or two mediators which helps balance any perceived imbalance when there is only one mediator. Mediators help you develop solutions and help both parties think outside the box to resolve a dispute.  Mediation can also be helpful when arrangements you've made before need to change. These changes may include contact with children and property matters, particularly as your children grow up or economic conditions change.

The mediation process always keeps the parties in control and the courts out of the decision-making of the agreement. A mediator is not a Judge and does not make any decisions; their role is to help negotiate between the parties.  Their role is to enable better communication so you can make the choices that are best for you and your loved ones.

Mediators typically set meeting agendas, request information from both parties (such as financial documents) and guide you through discussions that hopefully leads to the drafting of a parenting plan or property settlement agreement both spouses sign onto.  Meditation helps you stay focused on the Best interests of the children and the mediators will help you find a solution that works for you.  The Mediator will explain what needs to happen to make an agreement between you legally binding.   

Mediations are always confidential no information revealed in the mediation can be used in future court proceeding.  Both parties will be issued a 60i certificate and also have the legal avenue of the court system to further resolve ongoing conflict, keeping in mind that the Judge who does not personally know your family, will make a final discision for you.
