Family Mediation Oxford
Every family goes through tough times, and sometimes those tough times can lead to conflicts between family members. When that happens, the best way to resolve such conflicts and restore harmony in the family is through mediation. Family mediation is a process where a third party impartial mediator helps family members work out their differences, comes up with solutions, and resolves disputes. In Oxford, we have been providing families with mediation services for years.
When is Family Mediation Appropriate?
Family mediation can be used in a wide range of family disputes, from divorces to inheritance disputes, from disagreements over child custody to disputes about shared properties. If both parties are willing to participate and engage in the process, then family mediation can help them to reach a resolution without going to court. Family mediation is especially appropriate if there are children involved as it allows the parties to develop a child-centred solution that works for everyone.
