Overview

Mediation in a divorce

Working with a mediator, for many married couples, helps to promote an amicable end to the relationship. At Tees the family law department includes people who are both experienced mediators and also highly qualified and experienced solicitors.

What are the benefits of mediation?

There are four main benefits:

  • it can help to keep things amicable; this not always the case, but the process of mediation focuses on good communication and understanding from both sides and that can support a more amicable solution being achieved.
  • final decisions are made by you rather than for you. If you go to court to sort out your issues a judge will make the decisions, which will then be imposed, whether you like them or not.
  • you have more control so you can decide what’s important and what needs to be discussed with solicitors. The deadlines and timetables are also completely defined by you, giving you a more flexible approach.
  • It’s often faster and cheaper than other options. Resolving matters through the courts or solicitors can take months, whereas mediation can take weeks.
