It is likely that, at this difficult time, you are trying to make legal arrangements for your children and financial future.  Using family mediation to achieve this gives you the opportunity to maintain a sense of control over the process and how that future will look.

Your skilled family mediator’s role is to enable a constructive discussion between you and your former partner, ensuring that all relevant issues are covered and helping you to overcome problem areas.  Direct conversation with your former partner will almost always be significantly quicker and more cost effective than written negotiation or court proceedings but family mediation provides a suitable environment in which this can happen productively.

You will have the opportunity to create a future that suits your particular family, prioritising what is important to you.  You can draw upon your mediator’s knowledge to navigate the processes involved and ensure that you are fully informed and in control each step of the way.

Where appropriate, other professionals such as accountants and pension experts can contribute professional advice into the mediation and you can retain the ongoing benefit of your own personal legal advice at the same time.

Phillips Law Mediation is an established local firm offering this service.  The mediators are highly trained legal experts who will use this expertise to help you navigate the complexities around all issues arising from relationship breakdown.  For more information, contact Elizabeth Taylor on 01256 854628 or at [email protected].
