Curious about Mediation and how it works? Let`s explore some commonly asked questions:
Q: What is divorce and separation mediation?
A: It`s a collaborative process where couples work with a neutral third party, often a skilled family lawyer mediator, to navigate and resolve issues, sharing the associated costs.
Q: Why choose a family lawyer mediator?
A: Their expertise spans legal and practical matters, offering creative solutions based on extensive experience, ensuring a deeper understanding of the complexities involved.
Q: Can mediation be pursued without lawyers?
A: We always advise at least getting independent legal advice and ensuring you have exchanged comprehensive financial disclosure before you go to mediation. It’s always better to know the law, your reasonable range of outcomes, and each of your financial circumstances in advance. However, mediation is flexible, and whether you bring counsel to a mediation is up to you and your circumstances. It normally mitigates risks to an extent and is useful for many. But for some, it may not be worth the cost – especially if you ensure that any deal you reach in mediation is tentative and subject to due diligence and independent legal advice after. We’re happy to discuss the cost-benefit with you in advance if we are retained as counsel.
Q: What role do mediators play?
A: Mediators, like those at Moe Hannah, act as impartial navigators, facilitating constructive communication without making decisions for the parties involved.
Q: How does mediation benefit the resolution process?
A: Mediators help parties understand disputes, guiding them towards creative and tailored resolutions, empowering a smoother transition.
