How does the Mediation process operate?

The Mediator is not there to “take sides”.

She is totally impartial.

The Mediator works at all times with the couple, together, (never with one or the other) in identifying the key issues which arise from their separation. Those issues may include, for example: how the home is to be dealt with; how the other assets (whether separately or jointly owned) are to be dealt with: how any joint business arrangements should be dealt with; how any issues of spouse maintenance or child support should be resolved; how the respective pension provisions of divorcing couples should be fairly resolved/dealt with; and how parenting and contact arrangements with the children of the family should be dealt with.

A Mediator works with and for both of you, in helping you to reach agreements that will enable both of you to put the past behind you, and concentrate on the future for yourselves, and — if you have children — for your family.
