Divorce Mediation

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.
