Aylesbury Aspire Family Mediation

As part of a couple who have decided to separate or divorce, there are many new decisions that face you. The most monumental of these is whether you wish to pursue a legal route to resolve your differences.

Court is an expensive and painful route and you need to think about the financial consequences of this. Legal procedures can also cause a great deal of stress and anxiety.

You should really take a good look at mediation before you make a firm decision regarding litigation. The two are not easily separated. Before you even think about a legal route, you need to show that you have considered mediation in the majority of cases. Aspire family mediation Aylesbury has accredited trained mediators who are experts in negotiation and decision making.

Mediators deal with all of the different situations that may arise with divorce or separation. This includes issues concerning child access and financial issues.

Mediation is a three step process. The first step is to meet with both parties to work out if mediation is the best solution for each party.

The second step is to undertake a series of mediation meetings to find out, and find a solution to, the issues of dispute between the partners. This may involve issues of property, finance or access to children.

The third step is to decide upon a solution which both parties agree on.

Sometimes couples become obsessed with legal action and do not consider mediation.

Understanding the Process of Mediation Aylesbury

Mediation is an interactive, structured, collaborative process in which an impartial third person helps disputing parties resolve conflict through the application of negotiation and communication skills. All participants in mediation receive personalised feedback as a means to help them improve their communication and find solutions to family dispute,

A mediator’s role at mediation sessions is not limited to the negotiations themselves. A mediator can also be asked to perform other mediation-related tasks such as facilitating and presenting a case history and case summary. They can also work with other professionals involved in case preparation and case resolution to ensure that all parties’ best interests are served.

The most important skill a mediator must have is communication. Because the mediation process involves communication between the parties, it is vital that all parties feel that they can communicate effectively with each other and the mediator will keep both parties on topic and focused on the issues at hand.

Book YOUR MIAM WITH ASPIRE FAMILY MEDIATION AYLESBURY

A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is a crucial first step in the family mediation process, especially for those in Milton Keynes, High Wycombe, and Princes Risborough. These initial meetings, often available through local mediation services or online mediation platforms, provide an effective way to understand how mediation can help resolve family issues.

During a MIAM, an accredited mediator will explain the process, discuss the benefits, and assess whether mediation is suitable for your situation, including issues of domestic abuse or financial mediation. Legal aid may be available to cover the costs, making it accessible for more families. The Family Mediation Council oversees these services to ensure high standards. By attending a MIAM, you and your ex-partner can explore voluntary processes to control the issues at hand, such as child custody and child arrangements, without the need for court intervention.

This approach, supported by the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme, offers a confidential, cost-effective, and less adversarial alternative to traditional legal advice and court proceedings. With years of experience, family mediation services in Buckinghamshire and across the UK provide an effective service to help families navigate these challenging times.
