Family Mediation

Navigating the route to resolution at the end of a relationship can seem a daunting task at the outset, but with the right expert support, it does not have to be.

At Michelmores, our extensive specialist expertise in dealing with high value, financially and emotionally complex Family matters means we are uniquely placed to assist separating couples who want to avoid the conflict and expense of litigation.

We are acutely aware of the emotional and financial toll that conflict after separation can have on everyone involved. We are committed to supporting individuals who want to focus on conflict resolution through the process of mediation, which can offer a clear route to the resolution of issues arising from their separation.

The benefits are clear, not only does the process reduce conflict and costs, but it offers individuals an autonomy in their decision making through what can otherwise be a challenging experience.

Since April 2024, the Family Courts have taken a much stricter approach towards the requirement that separating couples engage with mediation before commencing court proceedings, and there may be financial consequences by way of penalties for those who fail to comply.    

We understand that a one size fits all approach to mediation does not benefit those who have more complicated family circumstances - financial or otherwise. At Michelmores, we offer a bespoke approach which is tailored to your individual needs from the outset through to the conclusion of your mediation journey.

Our objective is to work with you, providing the tools you need to reach a future proof solution for yourselves, whilst maintaining a focus on upholding dignity and respect for everyone involved.
