What might Family Mediation mean to you?
Family mediation is cheaper and quicker alternative to court for those people who have separated from their partners and spouses, and wish to have a safe and secure environment where they can discuss what happens to the finances or arrangements for their children.
Mediation is an effective means of resolving disputes. It requires both parties to want to be part of the process. The Mediator will act for both clients and will oversee and facilitate discussions between both of them at their mediation appointments. Mediation is voluntary and confidential.
If you have a dispute with a former partner about finances or matters concerning your children, it is now compulsory to attend at least one session of mediation before you issue proceedings at Court.
The Ministry of Justice and the judges and lay magistrates who will hear your cases, if legal proceedings are issued, recognise the benefit of mediation and we see, more and more, the court directing the parties in family litigation to attend mediation, to try and resolve their issues.
We have a dedicated Mediation Suite at our offices at 91 Cheshire Street, Market Drayton, and we have our own free car park. The sessions take place by way of pre-arranged appointments, organised by our Mediation Co-ordinator, Kim, who will contact each of you in turn to agree a mutually convenient time for the session to take place.
For an initial consultation call our Resolution Family Mediator, Louise Martin, or our Mediation Co-Ordinator, Kim Archer, on 01630 652405
