MIAMS Kirkby How will I find the best mediation for divorce near me?

When looking for a divorce mediator, the best way to start is with a personal recommendation from someone you trust who has already used the mediator and had a great experience.

But you may not know someone like this, so here’s the answer to the crucial question:

“HOW DO I SELECT THE BEST DIVORCE MEDIATION SERVICE IN MY AREA?”

Here are our top 11 recommendations for choosing the right mediator:

1. Begin by conducting a Google search: If you want to do face-to-face mediation, check out whether there was a family mediation program near me with a local office. We offer a mediation service in England and Wales if you prefer to hold sessions online. With online mediation, location would be less of a problem.

2. Is their website professional-looking? Do they have up-to-date social media posts, a highly rated family mediation blog, and a wealth of relevant information? Are there any testimonials or reviews? Is it a safe website? (with a padlock next to the name). Both of these factors will boost your confidence in the mediation firm and the service they will offer.

3. Are they a one-man-band or a larger mediation firm? Many family mediators run small businesses and are excellent family mediators – but what if they become sick, move on, or retire? If you don’t get along with your mediator, can you quickly move to another mediator in the same service without having to restart the whole process?

4. How long have they been in business – experience does not necessarily imply quality, but it can be a factor to consider, particularly if they have been in business for less than five years or were recently established.

5. Are the mediator’s members of a governing body and are they licensed with the Family Mediation Council? To function as a family mediator, they must be a member of one of the five governing bodies.

6. Do they have a no-cost introductory conversation? It is helpful to learn more about the mediation service and what they offer, as well as to get answers to any questions you might have.

7. Do they have any additional facilities, such as making the mediation agreement legally binding? Or would you have to pay extra by various solicitors as a result of this?

8. If mediation fails, can they assist with alternative options, such as an impartial barrister review?

9. What is the fee for a MIAM, a Shared Mediation Session, as well as any corresponding paperwork? Mediation costs will vary greatly, as well as a low-cost MIAM doesn’t really necessarily imply that joint sessions would be less expensive. Is this service available if you obtain legal aid? Will they have any corrected packages?

10. What do other people think of them? Will they have independently checked feedback to sites like Google, Reviews.co.uk, Trustpilot, or others?

11. How soon will they schedule you in? Is there a superfast same-day or next-day MIAM service available for when you just need to go to court? How long are their wait times and how many mediators are available? Some providers will only be able to book you in for several weeks in advance, so search before you commit.

When you go to court, you have no control over who the judge is or who makes decisions about your parenting or financial future. You take charge of the situation and the result when you use family mediation. You may thus select the mediator to use, and it is critical that you find one with whom you are comfortable in order to give the process the best chance of succeeding and keeping you out of court.
