Our mediators are calm, collected and keep the conversation on track.
Mediation Services
If you are going through challenging times as a couple and want to work on a smooth way of splitting up without having to go through the lengthy court system, mediation is the way to go.
1. Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM)
2. Mediation Meetings
3. Written Agreements
Once an agreement is reached, the mediator will write it up in a Memorandum of Understanding.
If the mediation involves finances, the mediator will also produce an Open Financial Statement which details full financial disclosure.
These documents can be made legally binding via a solicitor.
If mediation is unsuitable
If mediation is deemed unsuitable, or one or both parties do not wish to attend mediation, then we provide the relevant court forms signed by an accredited mediator which then allows you to submit an application to court.
Anyone making an application to the Family Courts in respect of child arrangements or finances is legally required to attend a MIAM appointment first.
Forward Family Mediation offers a fast and efficient MIAM service. If court forms are required we ensure that we email them to you or your solicitor the same day as the MIAM.
