Why Mediation

   

Types Of Mediation

 
  • Mediation is always voluntary for the parties and they can at any time leave the negotiations.
  • In mediation confidentiality is respected.
  • Mediator is neutral and impartial.

Advantages Of Mediation

   

The Mediation Process

 
  • It is voluntary
  • Joint decisions are made on issues relating to;
    - the children;
    - custody and access;
    - finances;
  • Expensive litigation is avoided
  • The emotional stress of divorce is minimized
  • Conflict is reduced by parties working together

Mediation is a process where people appoint a third party to help them resolve disputes between themselves: Mediation is not a court hearing. The mediator is not a judge. Mediation is not counseling or therapy.
        The mediation process takes between 3 & 5 sessions of 60 minutes each.

Mediation is at least 70% less expensive than litigation.

At the end of the mediation process I will provide the parties with a Settlement Agreement. This document details all the points of agreement reached during the mediation process.

Parenting Plans are drafted where there are minor children involved. In the case of divorce this is an annexure to the Settlement Agreement.

Where the couple were unwed, Parenting Plans are drafted on their own.

Where the couple were unwed and require a Settlement Agreement, this is also prepared.

The mediation includes disputes relating to all personal relationships between parties, including with reference to:

  • a marriage (civil and/or religious);
  • a Customary Union; and
  • a Partnership Agreement governing a personal relationship;
  • parties cohabiting
  • Separation Mediation

Which Situations Are Suited To Mediation?

 
  • Any situation where the parties need to have a relationship in the future.
  • Situations where children are involved.
  • Situations where people have difficulty settling differences between themselves.
  • Situations where big decisions are required in a relatively short period of time.
   
 
 

What Gets Discussed In Mediation

  All matters pertaining to divorce; eg, Division of Assets, Maintenance, and Parenting Plans (how each parent is going to exercise their respective responsibilities and rights in respect of minor children).

Any other problems the parties may be having regarding divorce may also be discussed and resolved.
