1. Cost-effective:

Family mediation in Kings Norton is a more cost-effective option than taking legal action as there are no court costs or attorney fees involved. 

2. Short process:

The process of family mediation can be completed in a shorter amount of time than going to court. This allows both parties to move on with their lives in a timely manner, without needing to wait for lengthy court proceedings.

3. Private:

It is private and confidential – all discussions and agreements during the process remain between the two parties, so it can be beneficial if a couple wants to keep matters out of the public eye. 

4. Avoiding conflict:

When couples go through mediation they are able to discuss their issues calmly, without any hostility or aggression, allowing them to come to an agreement which works for both parties without any conflict escalating further. 

5. Flexible outcomes:

Through mediation, couples can tailor solutions that work specifically for them and their families rather than relying on a judge’s decision which might not be suitable for everyone involved in the situation.

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.
