I cannot recommend Lucy Gregory from Brighton & Hove Law enough to anyone who is about to embark on a divorce. She was my rock in extremely difficult proceedings and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her knowledge, support and professionalism. I was given superior service and will always be glad I chose Brighton & Hove Law and Lucy to get me through one of the most anxious and stressful chapters of my life. An amazingly kind but professional family law firm to deal with. I will be forever grateful to you Lucy.
What is family mediation?
Please note we do not offer family mediation services, but can work with professionals who do. Though we do not offer mediation services, at Brighton & Hove Law, where appropriate, we will work alongside professionals that practise mediation and will outline the pros and cons of this process to you so that informed decisions can be made as to whether this is a process you wish to engage in.
In the right circumstances, mediation can provide the opportunity to make your own decisions about child arrangements or finances in a balanced manner that prioritises the wellbeing of any children involved and reduces the stress of the situation. The mediator does not provide any legal advice to either party but rather is there to facilitate the discussions between you and your ex-partner. Mediation can, in certain circumstances, avoid potentially drawn out or expensive court proceedings. Mediation is not right for everyone and it is important if you are thinking about engaging in the mediation process that you are aware of your rights and responsibilities; mediators will encourage both parties to ensure they receive their own independent legal advice.
If mediation has not been a successful process for you, we are able to help you in the next steps of your separation process and advise you of alternative options for resolving matters.
