What is family mediation and how does it work?
three steps to mediation with UK Family Wrexham
If you are going through divorce or separation, mediation can offer compromises for resolution.
Mediation starts with a Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM). You meet with your mediator to discuss the situation. You will receive information about mediation.
This initial meeting helps you understand how mediation sessions will work. We discuss the cost and the time needed to complete mediation. We share the potential outcomes and options.
From there, your mediator assesses whether mediation is suitable.
During the MIAM you will receive information about the costs of mediation. .
Book your MIAM with our UK Family Mediator. Learn more about the benefits of mediation. Call 03300 010 1571.
Once you begin mediation you’ll work with our qualified family mediators. All who are registered with the Family Mediation Council (FMC).
The mediator opens discussions between you and your ex-partner. This ensures a safe environment for both parties.
Together, you’ll address issues such as child disputes and child arrangements. Discuss financial arrangement and practical steps for moving forward.
The goal is to reach an acceptable agreement that benefits both parties. Mediation gives minimal impact to any children involved.
This agreement can be made into a consent order. This outlines the obligations and commitments of each party.
Through mediation, you will work towards a memorandum of understanding (MOU). This documents all agreed-upon terms. It helps everyone understand roles and obligations moving forward. Mediation ensures both parties understand and agree to the terms.
Once mediation ends, you may choose to explore additional support. Legal advice or counselling can help conversation and co-operation.
Mediation is as a solution for families. It helps with divorce disputes or child access. You may also need to still seek court or legal action.
Family mediation is helpful in resolving family disputes. Especially when circumstances change and new arrangements need to be made.
A trained mediator can guide discussions with family members. Offering the option to meet in different rooms online if needed. This ensures everyone feels comfortable. During the MIAM, you can discuss the cost of mediation. This may cove any funding that may reduce or cover the cost.
When parents separate, deciding how children will spend time with each of them can be challenging. Mediation offers a way to work through these sensitive issues without going straight to court. A trained mediator provides a safe, structured space for parents to discuss concerns and solutions around child access.
Mediation vouchers can help with the cost, making it more affordable for families across England and Wales. Mediation is not one-size-fits-all process. It depends on every case. During the first meeting, the mediator will assess whether it’s the right approach. Mediation can lead to child-focused outcomes without the court.
