SOLENT FAMILY MEDIATION BRIDGWATER

Family mediation allows you to to stay in control. With Solent Mediation in Bridgwater, unlike in court where a judge makes decisions on the final outcome regarding child access and financial arrangements, you and the other party can work together to discuss what you do and do not disagree on. In many cases mediation may help you prioritise your children’s best interests.

Mediation is often less time-consuming and less stressful than going to court and it is an effective means of settling disputes. If you are unable to reach an agreement, you still have the option of going to  court after mediation as well as utilising  family mediation after filing a court application.

It might be tough for divorced parents and other family members to communicate and collaborate if the relationship has broken down. Family mediation offers a safe and supportive environment for determining the best arrangements for children, in addition to other factors like as how to split assets and money and where you and your children will reside.

Family mediation in Bridgwater may also assist when circumstances change, helping to discuss new agreements. As children grow, for instance, family mediators may help you agree on changes to child access arrangements without having to go to court.

In family mediation, a qualified impartial mediator assists you in reaching agreements with another party (e.g., an ex-spouse) over children, finances, or property. The mediator is there to assist you in resolving your differences and identifying mutually beneficial solutions, as well as to explain how to make your agreement legally enforceable if you so want.

Unless you are exempt, you must attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (also known as an MIAM) prior to filing an application for a court order in respect to certain forms of family law issues, unless you are exempt.
