Family mediation is a way to attempt to solve family disputes with the help of a neutral, third party without the need to attend Court. A mediator is a neutral party and does not represent the interests of either party.
​
Mediation offers a multitude of benefits, providing a constructive alternative to adversarial proceedings. Unlike litigation, where the focus is often on winning or losing, mediation centers around collaboratively finding solutions that cater to the needs and concerns of all parties involved.
​
One significant advantage of mediation is that it ensures children have a voice in the process. It offers a confidential setting where discussions remain private, fostering open and honest communication. Importantly, there's no obligation to reach an agreement if mediation doesn't yield the desired results, providing flexibility and control over the outcome.

Mediations aim to achieve several critical objectives:
-
Client Influence: You retain control over the outcome, ensuring that decisions are not made by strangers or third parties.
-
Early and Equitable Settlements: Even in seemingly challenging disputes, mediation strives for fair and sensible resolutions.
-
Clear Understanding: Clients gain a comprehensive understanding of their choices and the potential consequences, empowering them to make informed decisions.
-
Thinking Beyond Conventions: Mediation encourages thinking outside the box, exploring solutions that transcend traditional legal frameworks.
-
Common Sense Approach: Practical and pragmatic approaches are emphasized to address real-world issues effectively.
-
Achievement Over Winning: The ultimate goal is not merely to win or succeed but to find a resolution that leaves all parties with a sense of accomplishment and closure.
