Mediation Benefits
There are numerous advantages to family mediation over traditional methods of resolving issues such as court or solicitor negotiation.
Mediation can be quicker, less stressful and more cost effective than going to court. It is a voluntary process and enables people to have control in their decisions which will have a big impact on their future and empowers people to make decisions that are right for them and their families, rather than decisions being imposed on them by a Court.
Mediation provides a safe and confidential environment where various options can be explored and tested in detail before people agree on the outcomes and next steps. It allows people a safe space to explore a variety of ideas before deciding on the best option for all involved. People are free to go away in between mediation sessions and test ideas out or seek additional expert advice from a solicitor or financial advisor for example. Mediation proceeds on a time phrase and schedule that is agreed between the parties rather than forced on people by a Court.
The mediator cannot provide legal advice, but it is helpful to select a mediator who is also dual qualified as a family law solicitor because they will have an understanding of the legal processes and can help guide you through mediation in light of this.
The mediator will explain the process to you and guide you through it. If mediation is appropriate, then most people find that between 3- 5 sessions is enough to resolve matters. People are free to talk about any element of their family issues in mediation such as separation, divorce, finances for example the family home and the children.
If you are interested in mediation, the government is currently offering a Mediation Voucher Scheme for those who are eligible, which offers up to £500 towards the costs of mediation. You can see more information here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/family-mediation-voucher-scheme
If you are considering mediation, please contact us to talk to one of our mediators about your situation.

What our clients say
Professional, compassionate and timely service
Anjani and Sophie have been nothing but professional and compassionate throughout my experience, they have always been on the ball with deadlines and have ensured everything is done in a timely manner. I'd describe the whole process as compact and considerate, ensuring things ran smoothly and there wasn't any
unnecessary tasks added which saved money and time. Very happy to have had them work with me!

Reassuring support through difficult times
Going into this process, I was terrified and emotional, from the start Hollie was reassuring, gave me all the information I could need, explained processes and answered all my questions regardless of how simple they may have been. Fullers helped me when situations changed and gave me the help I needed at a vulnerable point in my life. I genuinely couldn't of gotten a better experience elsewhere

Efficient, cost-saving divorce solution
The service I received from Jane-Louise and the team at Fullers Family Law was exemplary. Jane-Louise is one of the few solicitors that can deal with both parties using the Together We Part system. This works out so much cheaper and far quicker to get the divorce granted as only one lawyer is needed. This obviously only works if you're in agreement but if you are, I urge you to contact Jane-Louise and the team to discuss the Together We Part option. It saved us thousands and the divorce was granted within 6 months! Thank you team for your professionalism throughout.
