Family Mediation
Family mediation helps separating and divorcing couples with a neutral third party to reach mutual decisions without court intervention
- What is Family Mediation and how might Mediation help me?
- What are the benefits of Mediation?
- How does Family Mediation work?
- What will the Family Mediator do for me and what issues could Family Mediation cover for me?
- What is the difference between Collaborative Practice and Family Mediation?
Many couples have the desire and ability to work through their issues together but receive little support in our society to do so. The goal of an understanding based approach to mediation is to tap into that desire and give expression to that ability with the support of a lawyer who acts as a neutral mediator.
Richard Sharp trained as a Family Mediator in the mid-90's with the Family Mediators Association (FMA) www.thefma.co.uk and more recently undertook further specialist training in the USA at The Centre for Mediation in Law in New York www.mediationinlaw.org
Four key principles of the family mediation process:
- It is voluntary
- The mediator is impartial
- It is confidential
- It is flexible
