Mediation
Mediation can help separating couples consider their options and work out arrangements for the future. Both partners must be willing to take part in a series of meetings with an experienced mediator in marriage and family problems.Property matters, financial issues and childcare considerations can be discussed at these meetings and an amicable agreement reached. This process can be much quicker than court proceedings or negotiation by letter, and can reduce stress considerably.
Latimer Hinks can offer you the services of a solicitor mediator, provided we are not already acting for either you or your partner. Otherwise we can refer you to another solicitor mediator. Payment for mediation is made after each meeting, on an hourly rate, which both partners can share equally or in any proportion on which they agree.
You may still wish to take independent legal advice and may want any agreement reached confirmed in a Court Order or other written document. This is beyond the role of a mediator and a solicitor will be needed.
