Family Mediation involves you and your partner choosing one neutral professional to assist you in resolving your family law issues.
The process involves meetings of the parties together with the mediator and is designed to ensure a safe environment and level playing field during the negotiations.
Specially trained mediators include lawyers that deal with financial issues and sometimes parenting issues or mental health professionals who address parenting issues only.
- Mediation provides greater opportunity to think ‘outside the box’ which fosters more creative solutions to meet the needs and interests of the parties.
- Effective mediation can reduce both the emotional conflict and also the financial cost of resolving the issues between the parties.
