Our Services
Our process is to meet with each client separately for a one-to-one information meeting before proceeding to a joint meeting. This allows you to meet the mediator, explain the details of your circumstances, and be clear about your options before making a decision to proceed.
If you decide you'd like to try mediation, we will invite the other party in for a one-to-one information meeting too before setting up a first joint meeting between you.
Joint meetings are an hour and a half long each. The number of joint meetings you need will depend on the complexity of your situation but typically where property and finances are involved, it will take 3-5 meetings. In cases focused solely on children's arrangements, one or two joint meetings will often be sufficient.
Information Meetings (or MIAMs)
At a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM), the mediator will listen to you and with your help, will try to work out if mediation can help you reach an agreement. The mediator can also give you advice on any other services that may be able to help you.
Finance Issues
Your mediator will assist you and your former partner to make a full disclosure of your finances which will be set out in a manner acceptable to a court.
Arrangements for Children
We know that for parents, your children's happiness will be your priority. Our mediators are committed to helping you get it right for your children.
Child-Inclusive Mediation
Every child is unique but it is common for them to feel isolated and disempowered when their parents split up. It can be helpful to them to be consulted as part of the mediation process.
