Compulsory Family Mediation

COMPULSORY FAMILY MEDIATION

With effect from 06 April 2011 parties seeking a Court Order in relation to children or financial remedies (with limited exceptions including enforcement or protection of a child or financial assets) will be required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) with a suitably qualified Mediator before issuing an application at Court to consider with a Mediator whether their dispute may be capable of being resolved through mediation. 


This change in the rules is to raise public awareness of the benefits of mediation as a form of dispute resolution.  Parties are not being forced to mediate they are simply being required to attend an Information Meeting to find out whether or not mediation could assist them as a means of resolving their disputes. 


At Nockolds LLP we are pleased to announce that we have a Resolution Accredited Mediator, Carolyn Hanes.  All Members of Nockolds Family Team are Members of Resolution.  Resolution is a national organisation of Family Lawyers committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.  Members of the organisation follow a code of practice that promotes a non-confrontational approach to family problems. 


Our team encourages, through the Resolution Code of Conduct, solutions that consider the needs of the whole family and, in particular, the best interests of the children.  Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Family Team on 01279 755 777.
