Family Mediation Sutton In Ashfield

Are you worried your ex won’t attend mediation?

If your ex-partner won’t attend mediation, there are a few options.

Mediation is a voluntary process in a safe and neutral environment, meaning that your ex cannot be compelled to attend unless it is court-ordered. The first step is to complete a MIAMS, your initial meeting, which is crucial if you seek to achieve peaceful resolutions.

Our communication letters are devoid of aggression or threats; instead, we focus on collaborative mediation to help resolve issues.

In most cases, even the least willing participant agree to mediate.

However, if you anticipate resistance, it is important to initiate the process and schedule your initial meeting today, ensuring that you can proceed with your case if necessary.

What happens if you reach an agreement and your ex doesn’t stick to it?

If your ex doesn’t follow the agreement reached in mediation, you can file a motion with the court to enforce the agreement. The court may order your ex-partner to comply with the agreement or it may impose consequences such as financial penalties or jail time for failure to do so.

This is why it is important to have an experienced mediator create the agreement and then review and explain any agreements before they are made final.

What happens if you can not reach an agreement?

If we cannot reach an agreement via mediation, the next step would be to go through the court system. This involves filing a legal petition to settle the issue in question

The court will review the documents and evidence presented by both parties and ultimately render a decision on the matter. Depending on the outcome of the case, it may be necessary to take further steps such as enforcement of the court’s ruling or filing an appeal.
