Mediation is a process in which two or more people involved in a dispute agree to meet and, with the help of a third party who is entirely neutral, work together to arrive at a settlement which is acceptable to all.
find out more...Family mediation begins with a one-to-one meeting between the mediator and each participant. Thereafter, and if everyone is willing to do so, it can proceed to a joint meeting where a range of possible subjects can be covered. The mediator creates an environment in which the participants can discuss finances, children and property in a calm and neutral setting.
find out more...Every mediation session is different, but there is a common format. The mediation session begins with an open session where each participant has the opportunity to talk about the dispute.
Mediation’s greatest value is that it reduces hostility and helps parties to come to an agreement in a neutral setting. In a family situation this can be vital as there will need to be a continuing relationship for the sake of any children who are involved. It discourages confrontation and promotes cooperation by focusing on the shared nature of the problem, rather than the entrenched positions that parties may have settled into.
