HOW WE HELP FAMILIES FACING DIVORCE
One of the most devastating things to happen to family is when a couple splits up. This can be particularly hard on children, but communication, via mediation, can ensure that both parents come to an agreement over access to their children peacefully and without court action.
Grandparents and extended family should be considered regarding this also. Deciding on what happens to the family assets and home is also something that mediation can help with. Mediation helps to resolve financial-related disputes and relevant financial matters amicably with your ex-partner including issues involving pensions, savings and investments.
DO YOU NEED A MIAMS OR FM1 IN ALDERSHOT?
Before you begin mediation you will undergo a Mediation Information Assessment Meeting with an approved mediator from Solent to determine if mediation is suitable for you. Following this you will get a Form FM1 to prove that you have attempted mediation should the other party not wish to participate.
Learn more about MIAM and FM1.
WHY DO I NEED A MIAMS?
There are two functions of the MIAM:
You have the opportunity to describe the circumstances, the problems, your desired outcome, and any worries you may have to the mediator.
Additionally, it enables the mediator to fully explain the mediation process to you. If mediation is appropriate for your case, the mediator will next make that determination.
Additionally, at this point you can choose whether to try mediation.
HOW LONG DOES MEDIATION TAKE?
Depending on the circumstances, this may change. Many people are able to come to an agreement during just one joint mediation session for a single issue, such as parenting arrangements for Christmas, a trip overseas, or a modification in the amount of spousal support.
Most clients have three 90-minute mediation visits on average for parenting or financial issues.
