How can mediation help?
With mediation, you can work through your dispute and issues to move forward without any legal battle.. It gears towards enabling you to make sound decisions and healthy communication. The process will cover everyone interests, including your children.
Your circumstances may be straightforward. There may be no children in the relationship and you may have reached a decision on how you want to share financial assets. In this case mediation can be tailored to a very short series of meetings where you and your former partner, with the mediator, agree upon a a mediation agreement. On the other hand, you may have a very complex situation and several sessions may be needed in order to agree on a resolution.
If there are children in the relationship they will often be the focus of the conversation. You may also find that your financial circumstances are complex and take time to resolve. Assets may be difficult to divide in this case. In this situation a more extensive mediation procedure may be required, with a series of meetings with your mediator.
With a court battle involving your divorce you will often find that solicitors are in control of the process. They will determine when they can see you and it is often the case that appointments are only available during their business hours. This means that you will have to disrupt your own work, or family, schedule, in order to make these meetings. There is also a linear progression to the legal process. There are certain steps to follow and, once you have made a decision, it is very hard to turn back.
You can make an appointment at times that suit you. It is even possible to make evening and weekend appointments. The type of mediation meeting can also be varied to meet your circumstances. It might be that you initially prefer the mediator to be a go between for you and your partner if you can not, in the first instance, stand to be together.
