Specialist separation and divorce mediation Cheam
At Bellwether Solicitors, we recognise that separating from a partner can be an emotional time. Our mediation service in Cheam and Kingston is designed to support families in reaching practical agreements on issues like finances and child arrangements in a constructive and collaborative way, without the need for court involvement.
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process led by an impartial, professionally trained mediator. It helps families resolve disputes related to children or financial matters following a relationship breakdown.
There are several reasons families choose mediation. It is generally less stressful and more affordable than going through the courts. It often resolves matters more quickly and allows you to tailor decisions around your family's unique needs - whether you're married, in a civil partnership, or cohabiting.
Sessions can take place in person or online and are scheduled to suit you. Mediation can also reduce ongoing conflict and anxiety and help address non-legal matters, such as parenting approaches.
It's also useful for reviewing and updating existing agreements, such as child arrangements that may need adjusting as circumstances change. The process is flexible and enables you to stay in control of decisions affecting your family. It offers an alternative to court proceedings.
Before applying to court, most people must attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). This is a one-to-one session with a mediator to explore whether mediation is suitable. If it is not, a certificate will be issued to allow a court application. Our accredited mediators follow national standards and are members of Resolution, promoting a constructive, family-focused approach.
