If you are facing separation or divorce it can be challenging.

Lakes Family Mediation Rochdale is the most helpful options available for resolving the disputes that will come as a result of separation. By sitting down with a qualified mediator, you and your ex partner retain control over the decisions that shape your future, particularly those concerning your kid. Mediation differs from court, where outcomes are determined by a judge. In mediation you get to work on the plans around your family.
The mediation process is highly effective at delivering resolutions far quicker and often at a fraction of the cost of court proceedings. This approach reduces conflict, protects children from parental disputes, and helps you create realistic, long-term plans.
For most people considering court action regarding children or finances, attending a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is compulsory. This initial, private meeting with a mediator is designed to determine if mediation is suitable for your and your personal families circumstances. Lakes Mediation is able to offer urgent MIAMs meeting online if you need act now. If you decide to proceed to court, we can issue the certification (Form C100 or Form A) to confirm that mediation has been considered.
Mediation is a cheaper option compared to legal proceedings. Lakes Mediation Rochdale can take you through a simple assessment to let you know what your funding options are available.
Legal Aid: If you meet the criteria your mediation costs, from the MIAM to the final sessions, may be funded and covered by Legal Aid.
Government Voucher Scheme: For disputes involving children, the government’s Family Mediation Voucher Scheme can provide up to £500 toward your mediation costs, which we can apply for on your behalf.
Our focus is entirely on facilitating communication and finding common ground. By providing a safe, impartial, and highly structured process.

We believe that no one is better placed than you to make decisions about your children and your finances, and our role is simply to ensure those decisions are reached fairly, practically, and with the future in mind.
