Family Mediation can be a sensible, efficient and cost-effective way to assist you to resolve a number of issues, including formalities regarding your separation (for example, who will divorce who), the financial arrangements and also arrangements for your children.

How family mediation works and the benefits

  • A neutral third party helps you navigate and discuss matters together.
  • This means you and your former partner are the decision makers.
  • The process empowers you to work together to reach the best outcome for your and your family’s future.

Our mediators will assess whether mediation is a suitable process for you and, if so, will advise you how it will work and whether any other professionals should work alongside them – for example, financial advisers, pension experts and accountants. No case is too big to be considered in mediation.

How we have helped people in mediation

  • Neil has helped a number of couples who despite their divorce have wanted to continue working together so that their businesses could flourish. The constructive approach of mediation allowed this.
  • Neil has worked with couples who’s interests look beyond their own outcome and take into account other family members and future generations. Neil recently mediated an outcome for a farming family focusing on the future needs of the adult children as well as the divorcing couple. Working alongside lawyers and accountants a successful outcome was achieved for all.
  • Neil also mediates for couples who are in the court process but desperately want to avoid a final hearing. He recently helped settle a case by mediating directly with a  couple and their respective barristers. A whole day mediation avoided the cost and stress of a 2 day trial the following week.

Procedure

There are two ways to start the mediation process. Either through an intake session where mediation is explained in detail and you are assessed for suitability or, alternatively, by holding a MIAM. You have the choice how to start and further explanation is set out below in our FAQs. MIAMs can only be conducted by one of our accredited mediators.

Some people need an urgent MIAM in order to start a court application and we offer appointments within 72 hours.

Please complete either:

Costs

There is a fixed fee of £150 plus VAT for an individual appointment or £250 plus VAT if you prefer to attend together. An intake session will be charged at the usual hourly rate of the mediator you choose to work with.

We are now able to offer vouchers worth £500 towards your mediation costs! Contact Neil Davies to find out more information on the voucher scheme.

Family Mediation – Frequently Asked Questions

Here we answer questions we are frequently asked around family mediation. If you need further information please contact a member of the Family Mediation team.

What is mediation?

Mediation is a process that helps couples sort out issues in a cooperative and supportive forum. It is sometimes referred to as alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This means a way of resolving matters outside of a court process and with a view to avoiding contested hearings.

Mediation is voluntary and so it is important that you find out whether mediation is right for you and is likely to be the best way to sort out whatever issues need to be resolved.

What is a mediator?

A mediator is a neutral person engaged to help couples agree on areas of dispute. It is their task to identify the problems and then manage direct negotiations between a couple to assist them to reach their own agreement.

How do I choose a mediator?

Mediators come from different backgrounds and so it is important that you choose the right type of mediator for your case. Most family mediations comprise disputes over children or finance. Here we are all legally qualified mediators. For some cases you may be better off appointing a mediator with a therapeutic background. However, if your case involves complex financial issues you should appoint a legally qualified mediator with extensive experience in the areas in which you need assistance.

Choosing a legally qualified mediator means that the mediator can give you important legal information throughout the process. This will assist you both in your discussions and in reaching informed decisions. However, a mediator cannot advise you as to what the right outcome would be in your particular circumstances or give you legal advice. However, our mediators are settling divorce disputes day in day out and so they know the typical outcomes and can share this information with you and support you to create an outcome which meets your needs and those of your family.

What areas of dispute are suitable for mediation?

Nearly all situations where there has been a relationship breakdown are suitable for mediation. We can help you sort out matters quickly and amicably and often in a more cost effective manner. Our family mediators have a wealth of experience in all areas of private family law, including:

  • financial matters (including complex financial matters, dealing with companies, trusts, pensions etc);
  • children matters (including relocations, specific issues (such as schooling) and child arrangements, custody, contact etc);
  • cohabitation disputes (including what should happen with a property after a relationship breakdown); and
  • pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

We can therefore assist you with any of the above.

What is the mediation process?

The process begins either with a MIAM or an intake session. This is an opportunity for the mediator to find out about you and the issues. The mediator will usually meet with each of you separately to discuss the following:

  • Some background information;
  • The relationship between you and how you previously dealt with areas of conflict;
  • What the issues are that you wish to discuss;
  • Any concerns you may have about the process;
  • What you hope to achieve from the mediation process;
  • What mediation is and how it works; and
  • How the meetings might take place and logistics for this moving forward.

Before mediation can begin the mediator will need to assess your situation and determine whether you and your partner are suitable for mediation and whether it is the right process for you. If you are not deemed suitable for mediation, the mediator will discuss other ADR options available to you and advise whether you need to seek legal advice.

If your case is suitable for mediation, you will be sent an Agreement to Mediate and invited to arrange a joint meeting. Throughout the mediation process all negotiations take place in joint sessions hosted by the mediator. These can be held virtually or in person, depending on what suits everyone.

What is a MIAM?

A MIAM is a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting. This is very much like an intake meeting (as above) and provides you with information about the ADR options available to you, what mediation consists of and how it would work.

A statutory MIAM is a meeting attended with an accredited mediator to explore the potential of mediation prior to issuing a court application. Most people are unable to issue court applications in respect of children or finance without first having had a MIAM. This is not a box-ticking exercise and a mediator is required to give you information about mediation and other options you may wish to explore before proceeding with any court application. The mediator will usually contact your partner to give them an opportunity to also have a MIAM.

Ultimately, mediation can only progress if both parties are in agreement. If mediation breaks down or one party does not wish to engage in mediation, only accredited mediators can sign court applications to confirm this is the case and we are able to offer this service if required.

What will I need to produce?

For financial mediations the requirement to provide ‘full and frank disclosure’ is very similar to any other process, with both you and your partner being required to complete and exchange detailed financial information. This is normally in a document known as a form E. You will also need to provide supporting evidence of your financial circumstances. This means production of bank statements, market appraisals for any properties and details of the value of any pensions. Your mediator will explain what information is required and how to obtain it.

Will anybody else come into our mediation?

Where finances are complex, it is often necessary to bring in independent people to assist. These are sometimes referred to as ‘financial neutrals’. For example, in cases where there are complex pension issues then either an IFA or a pension actuary can be brought into the mediation in order to discuss pension options. Similarly, an accountant could be brought in to look at the valuation of a company. The mediator will guide you through these options and let you know what is suitable for your particular matter.

How will meetings work?

Meetings can take place virtually (via Zoom or Microsoft Teams) or in person. The mediator will be able to confirm which approach is most appropriate in your circumstances and will liaise with you to arrange the joint meetings at a time that is convenient for everyone.

Normally the time and date for each session will be agreed well in advance so that everyone can fully prepare ahead of the meeting and know what to expect.

Do I need to appoint a local mediator?

Prior to lockdown nearly all mediation was undertaken on a face to face basis. However, like many people, mediators had to adapt during lockdown and so began working online. They soon discovered that many people prefer the flexibility of online mediation and found it less traumatic as they are not required to sit in the same room as their former partner. Mediators now offer either face to face or online mediation and so, if the online model is to be used then we are able to mediate with couples anywhere in the country and also internationally.

International mediation has proved particularly popular. Whereas in the past where one person has been abroad, it has been difficult to negotiate a settlement either through a court process or in occasional mediation, this can now be arranged very quickly and there are few barriers to prevent real progress from being made.

Do I still need a solicitor?

We would strongly recommend that you seek legal advice from your own solicitor outside of the mediation process. This is important as mediators can provide you with detailed information but cannot advise you on a particular route or outcome. We always advise our clients to take legal advice as this will assist you in making fully informed decisions. A solicitor can help you be aware of the parameters of your case and the likely outcome and, armed with this information, you will find it easier to negotiate the right outcome.

Receiving advice outside of the mediation process does not detract from mediation and can assist and enhance the discussions had within mediation. With your consent, mediators can also share the information you have exchanged with your solicitors and your solicitors can provide helpful advice and guidance as the mediation proceeds.

What will I be expected to do during the mediation process?

You will be expected to commit fully to the process, including providing disclosure and information within the process (including meeting deadlines agreed by you in mediation sessions). You will need to be willing to engage in discussions, attend meetings and speak with the other party and the mediator. You will have to be committed to be transparent and forthcoming throughout the process. You will need to come to mediation with an open mind and with a view to resolving your issues if possible. Sadly without this commitment from both parties mediation is unlikely to be successful and other processes may need to be considered.

Is there a right time to start mediation?

Mediation can be attempted at any time and it is never too early or too late. The most common times for people to enter into mediation are:

  • early on when the decision to separate has been made and there is an acknowledgement that children or financial matters need to be sorted. Starting in mediation means that you start on the right footing with matters being addressed in a constructive and amicable way. However, for some it is too early to negotiate when they are still coming to terms with the relationship breakdown. Often people need to have moved on themselves before they are ready to negotiate and so, for some people, it may be better to wait a while before going into mediation.
  • ahead of any anticipated court proceedings. Armed with the knowledge that a matter is about to enter a court process often focuses the mind and many people are ready to attempt to settle before facing a lengthy and expensive court case. This is often a good time to achieve a resolution.
  • during the court process. Many people, once they have entered the court arena, find it frustrating, unsupportive and expensive. People are not locked in to that process and indeed judges are under a duty to consider referring cases away from the court and into mediation at all stages of the case. Therefore, a court will be only too pleased to pause a case to allow you to go into mediation and many couples should take advantage of this.
  • ahead of a final hearing or court trial. By this time all evidence has been gathered and this is an ideal time to have one final go at resolving matters outside of a court process. The mediator should be able to help you quickly and efficiently as they can be given the court paperwork that has been prepared and there will be detailed documents setting out the issues between you. Thousands of pounds in legal fees could be saved by many couples if only they took the opportunity to mediate before embarking on an expensive and traumatic final hearing.

Can you resolve complex cases via mediation?

Yes, complex financial matters can be resolved via mediation. Indeed, we specialise in mediating in complex cases where other mediation services are unable to assist. We have dealt with mediation cases where the assets have been valued up to £30 million and so we believe that mediation is suitable for all kinds of cases, not just limited to situations where financial circumstances are restricted. Indeed, there are lots of examples of cases reaching the High Court and even the Court of Appeal where judges have time and again told parties that their situations were such that they could have been resolved in mediation and helped avoid tens of thousands of pounds (and more) in complex legal proceedings.

Ultimately, whether mediation is the right solution for you will depend on your individual circumstances, but a concern that financial assets might be complex should not be a bar to you seeing if mediation is a viable option.

Can what I say in mediation be used against me or used outside of mediation?

The discussions within the mediation process are held on what is known as a without prejudice or legally privileged basis. This means that what is said in mediation is kept confidential, save for some limited exceptions (which include sharing the information and discussions with your solicitor so that you can obtain legal advice). The contents of those conversations cannot be disclosed to a court. The benefit of this is that you can speak openly and freely without ever thinking that what you say in mediation could be held against you in the future or used against you to your disadvantage.

What happens if we reach agreement?

If an agreement is reached in mediation in relation to financial matters, the mediator will draw up a document known as a memorandum of understanding (MOU). This document summarises the discussion you have had and the proposal you have decided is the best fit for your circumstances. The MOU allows your solicitors to advise you on the outcome and assist you in next steps. This document is usually framed in a way to assist your solicitors with drafting a consent order to formalise the agreement into a legally binding court order should you so wish.

Is a Memorandum of Understanding legally binding?

The memorandum of understanding is not a legally binding document. Once mediation has concluded and the MOU is produced, each party will usually take advice on the proposed settlement from their own solicitors before drawing up a legally binding document known as a consent order. This is then signed by both parties and submitted to the court for approval.

What are the advantages of mediation?

This is not an exhaustive list but some of the benefits of engaging in mediation are:

  • it is a voluntary process, which means both parties are committed to trying to resolve matters. You are there because you want to be there, not because you are being forced to negotiate;
  • it is usually, but not always, a cheaper method of resolving disputes;
  • it is less confrontational than solicitor led negotiations or court proceedings;
  • the timescale can be set by both parties, providing maximum flexibility;
  • couples tend to feel that they have ownership over the settlement reached and research suggests that clients are generally happier with the terms of a mediated agreement in the long term;
  • mediation can encourage an atmosphere in which couples who have children can continue to cooperate going forward and to retain a civil relationship for the benefit of the children;
  • negotiation is totally confidential and therefore couples negotiate freely without fear that things said can be used against them in court; and
  • both parties must want to achieve a fair outcome for each of you.

Are there any disadvantages to mediation?

Mediation is not the right process for everyone. It is important for you to understand some of the potential pitfalls of this process before you enter into it. These are:

  • It is voluntary and therefore you cannot proceed in mediation if one party is reluctant.
  • There is no timetable and so matters could be dragged out if one party is less cooperative than the other.
  • There is no way of forcing somebody to produce information if they do not wish to do so. In those circumstances if the mediator feels essential information is being withheld they may need to bring the mediation to an end.
  • There is no guaranteed outcome as, unless you both accept the terms, either you or your partner could walk away from the process.
  • If an agreement cannot be reached, then you will need to try another process and there will likely be additional costs involved.
  • Mediation will only be appropriate where both parties are cooperative and give their full commitment to the process and are honest about their finances.
  • The outcome of a mediation is not legally binding. For there to be a legally binding agreement the terms have to be passed to a solicitor, who will draft an agreement for you but there is the always a possibility that where an agreement is reached one party may change their mind following legal advice, which again could lead to additional costs.

How much will mediation cost?

The cost of mediation will vary depending on how many sessions you need to resolve matters and which mediator you instruct. At Paris Smith, we have mediators with hourly rates ranging from £195 plus VAT to £370 plus VAT. Time is charged at an hourly rate and information about potential costs are included within the agreement to mediate.

Generally speaking, an intake meeting will take approximately one hour each and joint meetings can take approximately 2 hours. However, the length of time taken in each session will depend on you and the mediator and can be shorter or longer, dependent upon preference. Most mediations involve between 3 and 5 sessions, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution in mediation and it will depend on a number of factors including the size of your assets and also your willingness to compromise.

How do I get started?

If you are keen to proceed into mediation then we suggest that you complete the self-referral form.

Family Law FAQs

0:01.2 Hi everybody. My name is Heather Souter and I am a senior associate here at the family team at Paris Smith. Hello everyone. My name’s Zoe Culverwell and I’m an associate in the family team here at Paris Smith. We are delighted to have you back for our second series in our family law videos.

0:18.5 In our first series of videos, we covered the different ways of reaching a resolution. We’re now moving on to frequently asked questions.

0:26.6 And that’s because as family lawyers, no two days are ever the same, and we’re quite often asked very similar questions.

0:33.5 These concepts are obviously very familiar to us as family lawyers, but they will often be new to you at a stressful time. We thought you would therefore be helpful to go through things that come up regularly and try to demystify some key concepts and legal jargon.

Things to consider before starting mediation

Things to consider before starting mediation

00:02.4 It sounds like mediation is a really good forum for lots of people, but what other things are there to think about?

00:08.4  So as we explained at the beginning when talking about mediation, generally it is a voluntary process, and so both people need to be willing to cooperate with each other, be present in the mediation sessions and take it seriously.

00:24.5 Compromise is also key. And so if you’ve got somebody who’s incredibly stubborn or deeply rooted in their position, it might not be right. It’s also important to say that you will be required to do homework as part of the process as financial information or other information will need to be given to your mediator.

00:44.7 And so again, you need to be willing to put the work in to do that.

00:49.3  You touched upon some different personality traits there, Zoe. How does that impact mediation, whether it’s appropriate. So given the nature of mediation and the very important issues that are being discussed, personalities and behaviour does need to be considered. If there is a power imbalance between you such that you might not feel entirely comfortable in that setting, then mediation might not be right for you.

01:17.5  Let’s say we are in mediation, but unfortunately we can’t reach an agreement. What then?

01:23.1  So if an agreement’s not reached in mediation, you will need to look at the other options available to you to resolve the dispute. This can lead to additional cost and also delay.

01:36.4  I think it’s fair to say we have lots of clients coming to us with an agreement. What happens then?

 01:42.8 So any agreement reached in mediation is not binding until such time as it’s been formalised by a lawyer. That can be one of the advantages of mediation in that each party can feel free to speak openly and without fear of what might happen if matters do not resolve.

02:00.7 But the flip side of that is that until such time it’s been formalised by a lawyer, it is possible for one party to change their mind and want to renegotiate. And that can be very frustrating if the sessions have ended.

 02:14.7 Lots of things to think about then, really? Yes. And that’s why it’s really important to take advice and to talk these things through with your lawyer so that the right forum for you can be decided upon.

Why mediation might be good for you

Why mediation might be good for you

00:00.0 So Heather, what are the benefits of mediation? There are lots of benefits, and one of them is that it can be really cost effective for the clients involved. There’s one mediator and we encourage the clients to share that mediator’s costs. So you are both committing and buying into the process.

00:20.0 So is it correct to say that if you are in a court process, you are handing control over to a judge who would impose a decision on you? Absolutely. If you find yourselves in a court process and you go all the way through to a final hearing, the judge is going to make the decision. So they’re taking that out of your hands.

 00:37.2 The process of mediation allows you to have ownership of that agreement and actually how you get there. So how many sessions you have with your mediator, it’s all down to you.

00:47.2 That sounds like a huge advantage. Are there any other benefits that in your experience you’ve seen with mediation?

00:53.9 I think one of the really important benefits is that you um, and your spouse are working together with the mediator.

01:00.2 You’re not in the court environment, so it’s not adversarial, it’s not litigious, and that can be really beneficial to have an ongoing, constructive dialogue, particularly if you’ve got children and you’re going to be speaking to one another for many years after.

Types of Mediation

TRANSCRIPT

7th November 2023

Types of Mediation

00:00.0 There are many types of mediation. The traditional model that we see involves both parties being in the same room together with the mediator. It is now possible to do that remotely, so it might mean that you are on Zoom rather than face-to-face.

00:18.7 I have some clients who aren’t comfortable being in the same room as their former spouse. Does that mean they can’t mediate? Mediation isn’t suitable for everybody. But if the concern is just being in the same physical room as an ex-partner, it’s possible to use shuttle mediation.

 00:36.0 This does what it says on the tin in that the mediator will literally shuttle between two separate rooms so that you don’t come into direct contact with one another.

 00:46.2 That sounds like it could be really helpful. Is there any way to have lawyers more involved with the process. Yes, so this is known as integrated or hybrid mediation, and that involves each party bringing their lawyer into the process so that you can have legal advice in real time.

 01:05.4 One of the things with court is that a child’s wishes and feelings might be, considered how does that work in mediation?

 01:12.7 So it’s also possible to hear the voice of a child in mediation. And that involves child inclusive mediation, which is where a mediator who’s qualified to speak with children will sit down with your child, and gauge their wishes and feelings, so that that can then be fed back to the two of you as parents.

01:33.6  And we know, from other processes that having other professionals involved can be really helpful.  Is that something we can do in mediation? Yes, absolutely. So mediation can be tailored and very flexible. It’s possible to bring in a whole host of third parties to deal with specific issues.

01:50.3 So if, for example, some financial advice is needed, you can bring in an IFA. If you’ve got disputes about pensions, you might bring in a pension expert.

01:59.5 If you are talking perhaps about your communication and how that can be improved generally, then you could even bring in a family therapist.

 02:06.6 The list is endless.

Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM)

TRANSCRIPT

7th November 2023

Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM)

 00:00.0 As discussed in our earlier video, there are various types of mediation. Heather, how does somebody decide which is right for them? So at the outset of the process, you’ll visit your proposed mediator for a meeting known as a mediation information assessment meeting, which we sometimes call a MIAM. The mediator will talk to you about the process and whether it’s appropriate for you and how you might want to conduct it.

00:29.5 We actually have three qualified mediators here at Paris Smith,

 Neil Davies, Sarah Passemard,  and Danielle Taylor. And here is Danielle to tell you a little bit more about the MIAM meeting.

 00:44.8 So thank you very much to Zoe and Heather for that lovely introduction. So in terms of mediation, the first step is to have an intake meeting or a MIAM. A MIAM is mediation information and assessment meeting, and the purpose of this is for the mediator to take some background from each of you individually and to assess whether or not you are suitable for mediation.

01:06.9  Now, there’s a difference between a voluntary intake meeting and a statutory MIAM. A statutory MIAM is where you are looking for an accredited mediator to sign off on a court application in due course. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that court is going to be the right option for you immediately. So the mediator will talk you through the alternative dispute resolution options that might be able to assist you and your partner instead of going to court.

01:33.4 So some of the things that you will discuss with the mediator during that initial appointment will be things such as the background to your relationship and the breakdown, how you dealt with conflict during the relationship, the points that you would like to discuss during mediation, what you hope to achieve from mediation, any safeguarding or welfare concerns,  any concerns you have about the logistics of mediation and how it might work in practice, such as whether or not you’ll have shuttle mediation where you’re in separate rooms and the mediator moves between you, or joint sessions where you are all sat in the room together and have a discussion around a table.

02:12.6  So the final thing that the mediator will do during an intake session is assess you and decide whether or not mediation is suitable for the two of you as a couple to try and resolve matters. Mediation isn’t suitable for everybody and there might be some circumstances that mean it’s not a viable solution for you.

 02:32.4 If that’s the case, the mediator will talk you through alternative dispute resolution options that might assist you outside of the court process. A mediator may sign off on your MIAM form for a court process, or you’d move forward with these joint sessions or shuttle mediation to try and resolve any issues between you.

What is mediation?

TRANSCRIPT

7th November 2023

What is mediation?

 0:00 So Zoe, can you tell me a little bit about mediation? Yeah, certainly. So most couples upon separation start by trying to have direct discussions between themselves with the aim of reaching an agreement, but that’s not always possible. And quite often a couple needs some support from a third party.

 00:20.6 That’s when mediation can come in and it involves the, the parties appointing a neutral third party who will help facilitate discussion between them. That sounds like it could be really helpful. Can you make somebody go to mediation? No.

 00:35.3 So mediation is a voluntary process and it involves both parties being willing to partake and come to mediation sessions with a genuine attempt to settle and compromise.

 00:47.8 Sounds like that might be a little bit difficult. So how does the mediator help? So the mediator’s role is to facilitate discussion between the parties and edge you closer and closer to reaching an agreement.

 01:10.0 Mediators are often qualified family lawyers and so whilst they will not advise either of you, they will guide you on what a court might do if ultimately you are unable to agree.

01:12.2 I imagine there’s lots of things that you need to talk about. What can you discuss in mediation?

01:25.1 So mediation can be tailored and very flexible. It’s possible to deal with a whole host of issues in mediation. So everything from how you’ll divide your money on divorce to discussions in relation to your children, and that can include who your children will spend time with and when.

01:35.6 But also discrete issues such as which school they should attend or perhaps whether or not they should go on a specific holiday. It’s also possible to deal with practical issues in mediation, which is partly what makes it unique.

 01:49.6 Those practical issues could be anything from who will care for your dog and when, how your joint account will be used, or even how your family home will be occupied whilst matters are addressed.

02:02.9 Sounds like the mediator can do a lot and you can achieve a lot. Do you need a lawyer as well? You don’t need a lawyer, but we encourage you to have a lawyer.

02:11.8 Most of our clients find that that really helps them feel that they have somebody in their corner with their interests in mind. It also helps prepare for meetings so that you know what you’re going to say, and also helps after meetings when you can come and take advice from a lawyer to check that you are in the right ballpark.

 02:30.2 Once you reach an agreement, hopefully in mediation, you’ll also then need a lawyer to help you formalise that agreement so that it becomes legally binding.
