Family Mediation helps couples who are separating or getting a divorce to work through their issues in a more supportive, constructive, and less expensive way than going to court.
A family mediator with formal training and experience in dealing with conflict and emotional situations will help guide you and your family members through issues such as property, finance and arrangements for any children, in an impartial way, not taking sides, or making judgements.
At Able Mediation, we are Accredited, experienced, and committed family mediators with over 15 years experience. We help clients of all genders and sexual orientations to resolve all possible issues surrounding separation, divorce, and family dissolution in an even handed manner.
The family mediation voucher scheme is a time-limited scheme, designed to support parties who may be able to resolve their family law disputes outside of court. The Government has set up the scheme in response to Covid-19 to support recovery in the family court and to encourage more people to consider mediation as a means of resolving their disputes, where appropriate. To support this, a financial contribution of up to £500 towards the costs of mediation will be provided.
Family Mediation helps you and your former partner to reach mutual decisions on issues including but not limited to arrangements for children, property and finances, debts, pensions, pets, possessions, etc.
Child Inclusive Mediation provides a neutral and supported space for children to express their thoughts and feelings about their situation, to enable more suitable child-focused arrangements to be made.
The Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting is the first meeting between client and family mediator. It is an individual, confidential session to get to know you, understand the issues and prepare you for joint meetings.
Family mediation supports parents to develop good relationships after separation, leading to co-operative parenting, which is highly beneficial for children.
The court process is inflexible and adversarial by nature, while a family mediator will adapt to your needs, help you reduce stress and improve communication between you and your partner.
Family mediation is quicker than going to court and cheaper than going to court. Family mediation takes an average of 110 days, compared with 435 days for non-mediated cases, and costs £675 on average, compared to £2,823 for cases going to court.
