Family mediation is personal to you and enables sensitive and challenging conversations between separated couples to take place in a safe and confidential way.
Separation is never easy
Family Mediation can be really helpful to help improve and manage communication, which can assist separated couples to make plans for the future as well as the here and now.
3 Steps to Your Mediation Journey with Us
Embarking on the mediation process with Family Mediation Cheshire is a commitment to finding amicable resolutions and embracing positive change. From your initial inquiry to the conclusion of your case, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.
MIAM Appointment: Understanding Mediation
The Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is an essential step where you meet with a family mediator. In a brief session lasting approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, we help you understand the mediation process. This initial meeting is an opportunity to explore how mediation can address your unique situation. The first step towards resolution begins here.
Mediation Meetings: Addressing Conflicts Together
With the groundwork laid, you and the other party attend one or more mediation meetings with a family mediator. Rather than focusing on what can’t be agreed upon, our process centers on finding common ground. These sessions are designed to facilitate solutions that work for everyone involved, allowing each party to move forward positively.
Moving Onward: Summarizing the Agreements
As mediation concludes, we provide a comprehensive summary of the proposals reached. If discussions involve arrangements for your children, we create a Child-Only Memorandum of Understanding or a parenting plan. This document outlines the agreed-upon proposals, serving as a roadmap for the future.
The journey begins with a simple email or phone call – your first contact with us is obligation-free. We understand the importance of this decision, and our team is ready to guide you through the mediation process.
Reach out to take the first step, and let’s start a conversation about how mediation can work for you.
