What can I expect?

First we want to meet you. We will also talk to your ex, but we do need to meet with each of you separately to hear your story and talk about whether we think mediation will work for you.

You won’t need to bring anything but it is time to tell us what’s keeping you awake at night, what you’re worried about and what you think is working OK. We won’t give you any legal advice but we will talk about the mediation process, what you hope to achieve and what we need from you so we can find solutions for your new family dynamic.

We do need to meet you both, but we will make individual appointments with each of you. If you aren’t sure how willing your ex is to participate don’t worry, we will get in touch with them after we have spoken to you and go over things the same way we did with you.

If we think you also need some legal advice we can refer you to lawyers in our collaborative network who focus on resolutions outside the Court process and will offer you a fixed fee.
