Resolving family disputes through dialogue, negotiation and the building of agreements

Family mediation is a form of dispute resolution that prioritises dialogue and the development of agreed solutions between the parties. It can be particularly useful in situations involving separation, divorce, parental responsibilities, maintenance, division of assets, or other family disagreements. We assist with the client's legal preparation, analysis of the matters in dispute, definition of objectives and review of the agreements reached, ensuring that the solutions found are clear, balanced and legally sound. Where necessary, we also support the formalisation of agreements with the competent authorities or in court.

What is family mediation?
Family mediation is a means of resolving disputes in which the parties seek to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator. It may be used in matters such as divorce, parental responsibilities, maintenance, division of assets or other family matters.
Not necessarily. The mediator does not represent either party or provide individual legal advice. A solicitor may support the client in preparing for mediation, reviewing proposals and revising agreements before they are formalised.
Matters such as divorce, children’s residence, contact arrangements, maintenance, division of assets, use of the family home and amendments to family agreements may be dealt with.
The agreement may have legal validity, but in some cases it must be formalised or approved by the competent authority or the court. Legal review is important to ensure that the agreement is valid, clear and enforceable.
