The Benefits of Mediation
Children:
It is particularly helpful if children are involved. It strengthens the parental relationship, helping couples to co-operate as Mum and Dad.
Speed and Cost:
It is much quicker and far less costly than the Court process. No one loses - and everyone gains.
The Future:
Mediation focuses attention on the future, not the past, and with hostilities minimised there is less emotional stress. It will help you deal with the changes in your life in a constructive way.
What Will it Cost?
A typical mediation costs a fraction of the amount it would cost for one of the partners in the legal process.
If you qualify for Legal Help (Legal Aid), mediation is free.
