Understanding Family Mediation
Family mediation is a structured process where a neutral mediator assists families in resolving disputes amicably. Key features include:
- Neutral Mediator: The mediator facilitates discussions without taking sides.
- Confidentiality: All discussions remain private, promoting open communication.
- Voluntary Participation: Both parties must agree to mediate, ensuring a collaborative approach.
- Focus on Future: Emphasis on creating sustainable solutions for ongoing relationships, especially where children are involved.
Benefits of Family Mediation
Family mediation offers numerous advantages over traditional court proceedings:
- Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than litigation.
- Time-Saving: Resolves disputes faster than the court process.
- Empowerment: Parties retain control over the outcomes.
- Improved Communication: Encourages better communication skills, reducing future conflicts.
- Child-Centered: Focuses on the best interests of the children involved.

Common Issues in Family Mediation
Family mediation addresses a variety of issues that arise during divorce and separation. These include child custody and support, financial agreements, and the legal context in England. Our mediators help parents create parenting plans, determine visitation schedules, and discuss financial support for children. Additionally, we assist in the division of property, assets, and debts to ensure fair outcomes for both parties.
Legal Context in England
In England, family mediation is often required before applying to court for certain family disputes. This process starts with a Family Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) to assess the suitability of mediation. Legal aid may be available for those who qualify, covering the cost of mediation. Our mediators are well-versed in the legal requirements and can guide you through the process efficiently.
The Mediation Process
How Mediation Works
The mediation process begins with an initial meeting, known as the Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). During this meeting, the mediator assesses whether mediation is suitable for your situation and explains the process. If both parties agree to proceed, mediation sessions are scheduled. These sessions typically last 1-2 hours and focus on discussing the issues at hand, guided by the mediator. The goal is to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, which can be documented in a Memorandum of Understanding and, if necessary, made legally binding through a consent order.
Our Commitment to Pro Bono Work
Accessible Mediation Services
At Kippax Mediation, we are dedicated to making mediation services accessible to all families, regardless of their financial situation. We proudly undertake a certain amount of pro bono work each year to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to resolve their disputes amicably. Our commitment to pro bono work reflects our belief in the importance of providing compassionate conflict resolution and supporting families through challenging times.
We understand that not everyone can afford mediation services, which is why we offer pro bono sessions to those in need. By doing so, we aim to bridge the gap and provide equitable access to mediation. Our team is passionate about helping families find peaceful solutions and fostering harmonious relationships, even in the most difficult circumstances.
