Find out how we can help with separation of your civil partnership
Civil partnership mediation can be a challenging and emotional process following your separation. It involves resolving disputes relating to finances, property, children and communication breakdowns. If you find yourself in such a situation, you don’t have to go through it alone. Free Family Mediation offers you an avenue to navigate this process amicably and without incurring excessive expenses.
What is Civil Partnership Mediation?
Civil partnership mediation is a voluntary process that aims to help couples who are ending their relationship to reach agreements on issues such as finances, children and property. The process involves a trained mediator who facilitates discussions between the couple to reach fair and practical solutions. The mediator remains impartial throughout the process and helps both parties to communicate effectively.
Free Family Mediation offers several benefits when compared to other forms of dispute resolution. These include:
Cost-effective
Mediation can be less expensive than litigation, where fees can accumulate quickly. Free Family Mediation is free for those eligible for Legal Aid, meaning that those who cannot afford legal representation can still receive professional assistance.
Confidentiality
The mediation process is confidential, meaning that information discussed during the process cannot be used in court. This confidentiality provides a safe and open space to discuss sensitive topics and reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Flexibility
Mediation can be more flexible than a court-imposed decision. The couple has more control over the outcome and can customize the agreement to fit their unique circumstances.
Cooperation
Mediation encourages cooperation and understanding between the parties involved. The process aims to develop a solution that is good for everyone, rather than having a winner and a loser.
Speed
Mediation proceedings can be completed quickly, with most cases being resolved within 4-6 sessions. This means that couples can move forward with their lives sooner.
