Frequently asked questions – Family mediation
How does family mediation work?
Family mediation is a voluntary process where a trained, neutral mediator helps people in conflict reach mutually acceptable agreements on issues such as finances, property, and child arrangements following a separation or divorce. The process encourages open communication, cooperation, and long-term solutions without the need for court intervention.
Is family mediation legally binding?
While agreements made during mediation are not initially legally binding, they can be made so through a consent order, which our solicitors can help you draft and submit to the court. This gives your agreement legal standing and ensures it is enforceable.
How long does the mediation process take?
The duration of the mediation process varies depending on the complexity of issues and the willingness of both parties to cooperate. Most cases are resolved within 3 to 5 sessions, though some may take more or fewer meetings depending on individual circumstances.
What if my ex-partner refuses to mediate?
Family mediation is voluntary, but in many cases, the court will expect you to consider mediation before taking legal action. If your ex-partner refuses mediation, you can request a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) certificate, which is required before most family court applications.
Can children be involved in the mediation process?
Yes, child-inclusive mediation is available, and our trained mediators can arrange to speak with your children—if both parents agree and the child is willing—to ensure their views are considered in decisions that affect their future.
