Divorce and separation can be extremely difficult chapters in life that need a great deal of reorganisation on the part of all parties involved. Solent Family Mediation Bristol offers a dispute resolution technique that can be used instead of going to court. It provides you with a mediator who is impartial and trained to assist you in reaching an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties.

When a marriage or other significant partnership comes to an end, there are a few things that both parties should do before going their separate ways. Examples of this include the distribution of assets, the agreement of arrangements for the care of children, as well as the handling of more complex matters such as property or pensions.

In the event that you are unable to come to an agreement on these matters, Family Mediation Bristol is an excellent alternative since it gives you both a voice in determining the outcome. It also assures that your agreement will be achieved more quickly, more cost-effectively, and with less stress than going to court or squabbling amongst attorneys would have caused.

As a Family Mediator, what do you actually do?

Solent Family Mediation Bristol offers a structured procedure that assists you in concentrating on the problems that need to be solved and, eventually, assists you in moving on with your life once the problems have been handled. It is not about taking a retrospective look at the relationship, therapy or assigning blame to either party.

The goal of mediation as a conflict resolution method with Solent Family Mediation is to reach an agreement among the parties involved. It is sometimes known as progressive mediation which focuses on moving forward and looking to the future, rather than dwelling on the past. It can help people avoid the stress and cost of court proceedings. 

In mediation your mediator will meet online with each party separately, and then we work to formulate a strategy for your group mediation sessions based on what we learn from those conversations.The mediation process will provide you with the opportunity, as well as the time and space, to carefully analyse the factors that are most significant to your children and the rest of your family. You can define child arrangements that are suitable for everyone’s requirements, both now and in the future.

We also work with you in reaching an agreement on where you will both live, who the children will stay with and what, what would be an equitable split of your resources or what should happen to each of your pensions. We will assist you in reaching solutions regarding any ongoing payments that are to be made between the two of you and finally, we will ensure that whatever assets you have are divided in the most efficient and economical manner.
