Mediation: A Practical Approach to Resolving Family Disputes
Mediation is a voluntary process designed to help families resolve difficulties in a constructive way. Typically, it involves a separating couple meeting with a mediator to discuss concerns such as arrangements for their children and finances.
The mediator, who remains impartial throughout, facilitates discussions, suggests options, and, if necessary, helps reality-test ideas in a balanced and practical manner. To ensure the best outcomes, it is essential to seek legal advice alongside the mediation process.
Research by the Ministry of Justice highlights that mediation can cost a quarter of the price and take a quarter of the time compared to court proceedings, making it a cost-effective and efficient alternative.
