Mediation Halesowen: a proven approach
The consequences of Separating or Divorcing
Going through a divorce, or separation, is one of the most stressful activities that you can possibly undertake. Psychologists have shown that any change in a person’s life can lead to stress, particularly splitting from a long term partner.
There will be issues such as contact and access around children or child support issues that you need to resolve and find common ground with family members. In addition to this, you will need to consider financial matters such as the division of assets including the family home and other assets such as shares and pensions.
The consequences of divorce extend beyond the current livelihoods of the people directly involved, and extend to the rest of the family, as well as impacting upon financial considerations and in these cases mediation offers a solution to disputes that may arise as a result of divorce.
As part of the service we offer at MIAMS Mediation Halesowen we make the divorce process, and associated mediation, considerably less complex and stressful for all parties concerned.
As well as the inevitable disruption to your personal, and social, life there are also consequences for your children and finances. Children, and other members of the family, are inevitably impacted by the results of divorce.

Can A Mediator Help me?
Speaking to MIAMS mediation Halesowen can be an effective way to resolve family disputes, but it’s not suitable for cases involving domestic violence or domestic abuse. In such cases, exemptions exist, such as the MIAM exemption, which allows individuals to bypass mediation and directly seek legal advice or issue proceedings. To begin mediation, parties usually attend an initial meeting to assess suitability, and if deemed appropriate, a MIAM certificate is issued. However, exemptions may apply, and relevant court forms, including a signed form, may be required.
When domestic violence or child protection concerns are present, the legal requirement for mediation can be waived. Financial orders and court orders often require detailed documentation and may involve a court application. Bail conditions and accommodations must be considered carefully.
