What is Mediation and how can it be the right step for you?
Mediation is a process where issues relating to divorce, separation and children matters can be resolved in an amicable and constructive manner, avoiding the need for often costly and prolonged court proceedings.
You can find more information on Family Mediation here.
Our expert mediator has had an agreed parenting plan drawn up as soon as the second mediation session. Unlike other firms out there K J Smith solicitors has the expertise to mediate for both parties thereby eliminating any fears around bias and keep the conversation transparent from the start.
Our approach to Mediation ensures that multiple issues can be discussed in a safe, closed environment, with an expert family lawyer on hand to guide the conversation and keep both parties on track.
The rising living costs continue to cause stress and uncertainty for people, mediation can be the best first step in preparing and planning for the welfare of yourself and your children.
If you are then it is likely that, along with approximately 80% of family law cases, we will be able to resolve your case through Mediation.
Mediation flows naturally via a safe space where you and your partner are given the opportunity to speak openly. Either party is free to withdraw from, or stop, the process at any time, but it is rare that this happens.
Mediation takes work from everyone involved, but resolutions reached this was are satisfying and deeply rewarding.
Through mediation it is likely that communication between you and your partner will improve in the long term and that you will therefore find creative and long term solutions to benefit you and your family.
