The Benefits of Family Mediation

 The aim of  family mediation is to reduce conflict and improve communication between the  different parties.


 The mediation process can help towards drafting an  agreement/ settlement/proposal document.  This document can be given to a  solicitor and turned in to a draft consent order to be  presented to court for approval. A consent order is legally binding.

The Family Mediation Process

Family Mediation entails both parties attending a separate mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM). This meeting is 30 - 45 minutes in duration. 


Attending a mediation, information and assessment meeting (MIAM) is required by the Family courts before any court applications can made to the Family Court. 


Attending a MIAM provides the  opportunity for the mediator to assess whether mediation is suitable for both parties and most importantly, for you to gather more information about the next steps and to decide whether mediation can work for you.  


The number of mediation sessions after the MIAM  will depend on the complexity of the dispute. 


Disputes around child arrangements can range between 2-4 hours in length. 


All issues mediation involving children and financials can range between 6-8 hours in length. 


We offer 1-1.5 hourly sessions.
