When should you try family mediation?
Contact a Solent Family Mediation registered mediator if you need help sorting things out. Even if you’ve been separated for a while or if your case has already gone to court, mediation can still help resolve issues.
You usually can’t take your case to court until you find out if mediation can help you first. If you can’t show that you’ve considered it, the judge may stop or delay proceedings until you have.
Once you’ve found a mediator, the first step is to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) in Ferndown to see if the process is right for you. You might be surprised to find that it is – we know that when both former partners attend a MIAM, three-quarters choose to proceed with mediation, even if they knew nothing about it beforehand or thought their partner was too unreasonable for mediation to work.
If you believe your case is not suitable for mediation, you will need to show the court that you’ve attended a MIAM in Ferndown and considered mediation and other suitable alternatives before going to court, unless specific circumstances exempt you from this requirement.
If you think you need legal advice to help you during mediation, that can be arranged at any time during the process. You may also be able to get legal aid to cover the cost.
