Deciding to divorce or separate is a difficult decision, especially when you have been together a long time and have grown a family and shared your finances. If this sounds like the position you currently find yourself in, then you may be thinking about engaging with solicitors and family court hearings to help resolve the issue of how to unpick what you have grown together, but there could be a much better way of moving forward.
Your Family Mediation offers family mediation in Bedfordshire and surrounding areas, helping you to navigate the tough decisions in a neutral location so that you can come to a joint agreement on what to do.
Divorce mediation support
One of the biggest stresses people can go through is a divorce, especially when things have become an argument and both sides are struggling to find a middle ground. Our family mediation in Bedfordshire provides you both with time to speak and time to listen, allowing you to come to a decision that you are both content with.
Your Family Mediation is successful in finding a resolution in more than 70% of cases, saving your time and your money! In those cases where mediation is unsuccessful, your case is more likely to be heard by a court without any hitches, as they will see that you have attempted to resolve matters with mediation first.
Family mediation support
You may find that you and your ex-partner are in agreement about most things, with the exception of how to split your time between your children. Rather than starting a long, drawn-out custody battle, using mediation will help you both focus on what is best for the family you created. We will give you time to share your views and concerns and also hear what your children think and feel where appropriate.
Sadly, taking custody issues to court can lead to lengthy wait times, which is not in the best interest of the children involved and so it makes sense to try mediation first to see if you can agree to a plan together that suits everyone.
Court MIAM support
In some cases, mediation is not possible or safe to proceed with, leaving both parties in the hands of the court system. However, the vast majority of courts will expect to see the documentation that proves you have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to go through the mediation process.
In these cases, our mediation team can offer a 24-hour Court MIAM service, meeting and signing the paperwork you need to be able to move to a court hearing. We know that you are going through a stressful time, and we will do everything we can so that you can submit your documentation to the courts without worrying about it being returned.
