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 about one third 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.
