MEDIATION FAQ
WHAT IS MEDIATION
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that helps individuals and families resolve disagreements without having to go to court.
In legal aid mediation, a neutral third party (the mediator) facilitates conversations between all parties in order to reach an agreement.
The family mediator does not make any decisions about what should happen, but instead helps the parties communicate and come to a mutually acceptable solution
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION
The benefits of mediation include:
1. A quicker resolution to a dispute, usually in single sessions that can take from one to several hours when you attend mediation.
2. Lowered stress and expense, as both parties share the cost of the family mediator and need not go through costly legal proceedings.
3. It is often possible to reach an agreement where both sides feel they have been heard and that their interests have been respected, even if no agreement is ultimately reached at the end of the process.
4. Increased likelihood of compliance with any negotiated settlement achieved through family mediation as opposed to court-imposed rulings or settlements.
5. Preservation of relationships between parties encouraging them to continue working together in future, if appropriate.
HOW DOES MEDIATION WORK?
Mediation begins with joint mediation sessions between the mediator and your ex partner in which the mediator will explain the procedure and evaluate if the family mediation service is appropriate for the situation.
Family Mediators are trained professionals who act as a neutral third party to facilitate dialogue between family members. They will ask questions to identify any areas of disagreement and explore potential solutions that may be beneficial for all involved.
The goal is to create a mutually agreed upon outcome that can be implemented without any court involvement.
