What is Mediation & How Does it Work?
Family breakdowns such as a divorce or separation are devastating and can ultimately create life-changing situations, particularly when children are involved. Marriage and partnership breakdowns can also lead to other ongoing family disputes that, if left unresolved, tend to intensify and can become extremely traumatic.
Since April 2011 the Ministry of Justice has ruled that mediation must be considered by all parties contemplating separation or divorce before proceeding to court. All parties now have to attend at least one Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before legal proceedings can be commenced.

The Advantages of Mediation
In the complex landscape of familial relationships, conflicts are inevitable. However, resolving disputes within a family need not escalate into a prolonged and acrimonious legal battle. Family mediation, offered by National Mediation Services , emerges as a constructive and effective alternative. This article explores the numerous advantages that families can derive from choosing mediation as a means to navigate and resolve their differences.
1. Preservation of Relationships:
– One of the primary benefits of family mediation is its focus on preserving relationships. Unlike adversarial legal proceedings, mediation aims to foster open communication and understanding among family members.
– The neutral mediator facilitates a collaborative process where all parties have an opportunity to express their concerns and interests, fostering a more empathetic and cooperative environment.
2. Cost-Effective Resolution:
– Traditional legal battles can be financially burdensome, with escalating costs for legal representation, court fees, and other associated expenses. Family mediation proves to be a cost-effective alternative.
– National Mediation Services offers affordable and transparent fee structures, allowing families to allocate resources more efficiently towards resolving issues rather than financing protracted legal battles.
3. Timely Resolution:
– Legal proceedings can be time-consuming, causing prolonged stress and emotional strain on the family members involved. Family mediation, however, provides a streamlined process for dispute resolution.
– With National Mediation Services, families can benefit from timely and efficient resolution, allowing them to move forward with their lives and reduce the emotional toll associated with extended legal battles.
4. Confidentiality and Privacy:
– Family matters are inherently private, and the confidentiality of mediation provides a safe space for open dialogue. Unlike court proceedings, where details become part of the public record, mediation ensures that discussions remain confidential.
– National Mediation Services prioritizes the privacy of families, creating an environment where participants feel secure in sharing their concerns without fear of public exposure.
5. Empowerment and Decision-Making:
– Mediation empowers families to take an active role in the resolution of their conflicts. Unlike a court-imposed decision, mediated agreements are crafted by the parties involved, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment to the outcomes.
– National Mediation Services facilitates a client-centered approach, ensuring that families have control over the decisions that will shape their future.
6. Child-Centred Solutions:
– When children are involved in family disputes, their well-being is a top priority. National Mediation Services recognizes the importance of child-centred solutions and works towards creating arrangements that prioritize the best interests of the children.
– Mediation allows parents to collaboratively design parenting plans, fostering a positive co-parenting relationship for the benefit of the children.
