Lakes Mediation offers simple, straightforward family mediation services for people in Salford and the surrounding areas. If you are separating or divorcing and need to sort out disagreements about your children or money, our experts provide a calm, private space to talk. We help you find practical solutions, meaning less stress and cost than going to court.
Before you can ask a judge for help with family issues, the law requires you to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM).A MIAM short, private meeting with a mediator to explain the process and check if mediation is safe and right for your situation. Lakes Mediation Salford will you the official paperwork once you have attended your MIAM that you need to show the court that you have completed this step, allowing you to proceed with an application if mediation is not suitable or your ex is not willing to join the process with you and family court has to be the next step.
Don’t let money stop you. You might not have to pay anything at all. Legal Aid is available if you are on a low income or certain benefits. If you are on a low income or certain benefits, all your mediation sessions, including the MIAM, can be funded by Legal Aid. In addition the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme is currently available. Your Lakes Mediator can apply for this government voucher worth up to £500 to help pay for sessions if your case involves arrangements for children. This is not a means tested scheme which means that you can still qualify if you are not on benefits. It is available for everyone that needs to discuss children in family mediation.
Mediation is a sensible way to talk through problems with a neutral expert (the mediator).
You Choose the Outcome: The mediator doesn’t tell you what to do; you and your ex make the final decisions. This means the agreements actually work for your family.
It’s Private: Everything discussed is kept confidential. It can’t be used against you in court later.
It’s Fair and Quick: Mediation is much faster and cheaper than paying lawyers for months of court appearances.
