What Is Family Mediation? Mediation provides a safe, structured space where you and your ex-partner can discuss issues calmly with the help of a trained, neutral mediator. The goal is to reach agreements you both feel comfortable with, without going to court. You stay in control. You make the decisions. We help guide the conversation.
MIAM – Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting A MIAM is the first step. It’s a confidential meeting where we: Explain how mediation works Understand your situation Check whether mediation is suitable Answer your questions You only need to attend separately — you do not meet your ex at this stage. MIAMs are legally required before making most court applications.
Child Arrangements Mediation in Liverpool If you’re separating and have children, mediation can help you agree on: Where children will live When they spend time with each parent Schooling and holidays Communication and routines Additional needs or adjustments We help you create a Child Arrangement Plan that is workable and child-focused. Your children’s well-being is always at the centre of discussions.
Financial Mediation Sorting finances after separation can feel overwhelming. We help you work through issues such as: Property and the family home Savings, debts, and pensions Living arrangements Maintenance payments Future financial stability We guide you through financial disclosure and support you in discussing fair, realistic options. Shuttle Mediation If you prefer not to be in the same room as your ex-partner, shuttle mediation allows you to remain in separate spaces (or separate online rooms). The mediator moves between you, ensuring both people are heard.
