All issues mediation

If you are experiencing the breakdown of a relationship and need to make decisions about your future finances and arrangements for children, one option is to seek the help of a qualified mediator to help you reach agreement on these important matters.

Before the first mediation session your mediator will talk to you and your partner/former partner about the kind of issues that you have and would like to discuss within mediation. Sometimes these are obvious and sometimes they will be matters that you had not thought about before.

What is all issues mediation?

Quite simply, All Issues mediation covers issues of property, finance and matters relating to children. FMA mediators have undertaken intensive, extensive and on-going training to deal with all of these issues.

How long will it take?

This kind of mediation will take longer than a children only mediation or a mediation relating only to finance and property, simply because it seeks to deal with many more issues than the other types of mediation. All issues mediation normally requires between three and five sessions.

What happens at the end of the mediation?

The mediator will normally prepare a Memorandum of Understanding, which is a document detailing your proposals, and this can be used by your solicitor to prepare a legally binding agreement.
