 Mediation
is a process which allows disagreements to be resolved with the help of
an independent person (the mediator). Mediation can help couples find a
mutually acceptable resolution by direct discussion with the mediator
facilitating the process and providing legal information help allow
workable plans to emerge. It can be used to resolve issues relating to
children (when it is often particularly effective) or in cases where
there is disagreement about financial issues.
Pros and Cons:
Mediation allows total and direct control over decision making and
enables better lines of communication to be established in the
re-ordered family
But
It is less likely to work if one person is really not prepared to make
plans for a separated future, is deceitful or overbearing in which case
the process may founder.
