Why Choose Mediation?
When relationships break down people are often confused and scared and don’t know where to turn. Yet there may be pressing practical decisions to be made: about children or about how the finances will work. How can people manage this at such a difficult time?
Family Mediation helps separated couples make positive practical decisions that suit their own unique situations. Mediators do not take sides or tell people what is best for them. You make your own choices from beginning to end.
Mediation gives you a step by step way of thinking through your options. This means it is less stressful, less costly and less damaging for you and everyone else. You stay in control of the outcome and the mediator makes sure you make well-informed decisions.
Oxfordshire Family Mediation helps:
- you save money - using mediation can halve your costs
- keep your children out of the conflict
- you make legally recognised decisions about what happens after separation
- other members of the family affected by the breakdown
- keep children's needs central in decisions that affect them
- give back your authority as a parent
- give you a route map for planning the future
Oxfordshire Family Mediation does not:
- take sides or try to judge who is in the right or wrong
- try to counsel or encourage you to get back together
- tell you what to do—you are in control and find your own solutions
