If you and your ex-partner find yourselves unable to reach a resolution on your issues, exploring the option of family mediation before resorting to court may prove beneficial.

Family mediation involves a collaborative process where both parties meet with a neutral mediator who facilitates open communication and assists in finding common ground.

The mediator’s role is to provide guidance and help generate mutually agreeable solutions that address the concerns of both individuals involved.

The family mediation process will allow you to find solutions to your disputes.
MIAMS Worcester family mediation practice will look at family issues in your first session known as a mediation information assessment meeting.

How much time do we need to allow for mediation session with MIAMS Mediation Bromsgrove in the west midlands?

It is difficult to provide an exact answer to this question as the amount of time needed for a mediation session can vary greatly depending on the circumstances. Generally speaking, each party may need anywhere from 1-4 hours to work through their issues and reach agreement.

The mediator should discuss expectations with both parties prior to the session and make sure that all involved understand the approximate duration of the process.

If, however, your ex-partner is unwilling to participate in family mediation, it may then be appropriate to consider initiating court proceedings as a means of seeking resolution, if deemed necessary in your specific circumstances.

General information about Mediation, Please click the links below to find out more info:

Family’s are deeply affected by divorce or separation, especially when there are children in the family. Often these painful situations can be helped with the aid of a mediator who will hold a  Mediation Intake Assessment Meeting or MIAM. MIAMs can soothe ruffled feelings and ensure that communal assets are divided equally, make sure that financial obligations of both parents are laid out and help to make the break as easy as possible for all the members of the family.

When attending a court proceeding on the matter, the family will need to present an FM1 (Family Mediation 1 form) which confirms that a MIAM has been held.

As of April 2014, significant changes were made to the judicial system regarding separation and divorces, particularly where children were involved. These changes ensure that the welfare of the children is paramount, with minimal impact on the children and as little negativity as possible. One of the major changes was a requirement for a mediation session or MIAM to be attended before any court proceedings to do with financial or custody matters (hence the need for a FM1 to be produced).

If the split is acrimonious and both parties find it difficult to be in the same room, as would happen with face to face mediation, it is possible to ask for shuttle mediation.

Shuttle sessions happen when the two parties are seated in separate rooms and the mediator shuttles between the two, discussing issues and offering solutions.

Shuttle mediation is often a good solution with distance between the parties allowing for rational and reasoned thinking.

Mediation sessions are now a legal requirement, and your ex’s lawyer will make this clear to him or her.

Offering shuttle mediation, in which they will not have to share a room while coming to an agreement, is sometimes a way to make the thought of mediation more palatable.

Mediators can also help with will disputes: resolving issues between heirs and coming to an acceptable compromise in the event that the will is ambiguous or unclearly worded.
