Lakes Mediation helps you with experience mediators who can help you to follow the process of contribution from the parents for the life of the child.

The process we follow while assigning the amount each parent has to contribute is mentioned below.

The first step we do is to find out what each parent owns and how much they can save after spending money on themselves. In other words, we check what is in the pot of each parent.
Then we find out what each parent must contribute and the amount he wants to contribute and then decide the amount between both the numbers by negotiation.
We take the mutual consent of both the parents and then reach a decision that is fair to both of them and to the child. In other words, we reach an agreement which is mutually decided.

It is important that you don’t take help from the court and the justice system to reach to a decision as there are various formalities which have to be followed and wasting your time and effort.

Most of the parents don’t have the awareness about the mediation process and straight away approach the court into the matter.

The information must be kept confidential and we understand the situation is difficult has when it comes to sharing about the finances they have and their savings.

We maintain a friendly environment for the transparent communication of information with the mediators who can handle the situations and are well suited to take decisions in these cases.

Mediating can help in several ways, including:

providing a less stressful way of dealing with sensitive matters
facilitating communication and helping you sort out future arrangements
making it easier to review and change arrangements as long as both parties agree
and being a faster and cheaper way of resolving disputes.
