What is Family Mediation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Family mediation is a voluntary process which is typically undertaken by parents, couples or partners. Mediation allows parties to work out arrangements, such as for children and finances, following a separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family mediator is an independent third party who manages discussions between the parties. The mediator\u2019s role is to help the parties narrow the issues between them and then leads a forward-thinking and constructive discussion to help them reach a resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any discussions that take place in mediation are generally confidential and privileged. This means that discussions which take place in mediation cannot be repeated in Court unless this  is agreed by the parties. This allows parties to have open and honest discussions with one another during mediation which, in turn, enables agreements to be reached and decisions to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mediation allows parties to approach their disputes in a constructive, neutral, creative and co-operative manner. Typically, it is less stressful, expensive and time consuming than court proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Family Mediation Successful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“People often ask whether family mediation works, and so the FMC conducted a survey to find out. Survey results just published show that this is a highly successful way of helping couples resolve disputes, with mediation successful in over 70% of cases” – Source: Family Mediation Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Taylor, former Chair of the Family Mediation Council said: <\/strong>“It is not surprising that so many people who attend a first meeting with a mediator choose to go on to mediate. The meeting (sometimes called a \u201cMediation Information and Assessment Meeting\u201d, or \u201cMIAM\u201d) provides people with an opportunity to find out what family mediation is, how it might work for them and the practicalities and costs involved, as well as the alternatives if they choose not to mediate. Once people realise that family mediation is less expensive than being represented in court proceedings, as well as being less stressful and quicker than the court process, most realise it is a conversation worth having.” – Source: Family Mediation Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family disputes are often emotional and complex. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including mediation and family therapy, helps families communicate constructively, focus on what matters most, and reach practical solutions without escalating conflict or going to court.
