Family Mediation

Seeking resolution in Wakefield? Family mediation services offer a stress-free alternative to settle cases involving relationships like marriage, civil partnerships, and parenthood. Skilled mediators prevent disputes from escalating, providing an unbiased and positive voice throughout the process. In many family law cases, including divorce, civil partnership parties the courts require parties to carefully consider mediation as an option before proceedings concerning finances or children can be issued. Before proceeding to court, attending a MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is required, ensuring your case moves forward smoothly.

What is mediation?

Mediation is an accredited, fully trained independent voice for your divorce or dissolution proceedings. A mediator will work with all involved parties to represent everyone’s voice and opinions equally, in an unbiased way.

In cases where you find it difficult to negotiate, or to even be in the same room as each other, a mediator can help you to make progress. This can include ‘shuttle mediation’ where the mediator literally goes between rooms to pass messages back and forth, so the conversation may take place without face-to-face confrontation.

It’s a tried, tested and proven technique that can resolve cases faster, with outcomes that are mutually agreeable for both parties, any children involved, and even for the extended family like grandparents.

Testimonials

Thank you very much for working with us Michael and making a difficult time and little bit easier.

“I have just made the payment for the mediation services. Thank you very much for the conversation, it was really useful, all very professional and accurate but at the same time, kind and personal. I wish all people in processes regarding family law have the luck to find such great professionals. “

“I didn’t know that mediation was an option in my situation but it was the best course of action to avoid the expense and stress of going to court. Marcia worked with us and enabled us to come to a solution that everyone was happy with. It was extremely helpful.”

“Marcia definitely gets a 10/10 from me and a big THANKYOU. Hopefully things will be back to normal for me and my son in no time.”

Everything Marcia suggested thankfully my ex-partner agreed to. Marcia is a complete professional and excellent at her job, I would recommend her to anyone that’s in a similar situation to me.

“As it stood I didn’t know when the next time I’d be able to see my son would be, but after Marcia set up a mediation meeting with me and his mum it looks like I’m going to get to see him on a regular basis again.”
