Family Mediation Solicitors

Approach your separation constructively with Lowry Legal’s family mediation solicitors.

Simplify Divorce With Family Mediation Lawyers

Dealing with separation often leads to conflict between spouses. When significant wealth and high value assets are a feature, reaching an understanding over finances, children, and living arrangements can be stressful and time-consuming. If you’re struggling to break the deadlock, our specialist family mediation solicitors can help.

Mediation is an increasingly common form of dispute resolution. Trained mediators aim to facilitate a collaborative atmosphere that can prove to be more effective, relaxed, and productive in the long-term. In general, the informality of the setting offers a more conducive environment that can remove the expense and anxiety of the courts.

A leading law firm with a holistic approach, Lowry Legal’s talented dispute resolution lawyers promise a more productive and timely approach to your separation.

How Lowry Legal can Help

Lowry Legal’s might encourage you to complete an information form to provide some general details and an outline of what you wish to discuss.

The first meeting, the Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAMS), is a private discussion where you can learn about family mediation and alternatives to the courts. Here you can share your goals and concerns. The mediator will explain mediation options, and both parties are invited for confidential MIAMS to determine if mediation is suitable.

Each party will sign a Mediation Agreement before the first joint session. Your mediator will give you an estimate on approximate sessions depending on the issues you need to discuss.

If you have financial matters to resolve, you will discuss what you should provide by way of full disclosure and how and when this should take place. Where there are child arrangements to discuss you will have the opportunity to discuss their care. You may wish to enter into a co-parenting agreement to set out what you have agreed.

You will have the opportunity to discuss openly and confidentially what options you wish to explore. Your mediator will help you both to discuss options and other possibilities. They will provide you with legal information and the parameters of the law, whilst remaining impartial and not providing legal advice.

When you have reached an agreement, all parties will sign a memorandum of understanding/ and or co parenting agreement. You will be encouraged to seek independent legal advice on the terms, and you can share the agreement with your respective solicitors. Should you wish to formalise the paperwork, the mediator can draft a consent order but cannot finalise or sign off. This will need to be done by you or your solicitor (if using one).
