Brighton and Hove, and particularly Samantha Barker, come highly recommended. The work that Samantha puts into her client’s case is unbelievable- the preparation and attention to detail is second to none
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.
