FAQ
Common Questions About Mediation
Is mediation legally binding?
Mediation itself is not binding, but once you reach an agreement, your mediator can prepare a written summary that your solicitor can convert into a legally binding separation agreement or consent order.
Is mediation confidential?
Yes. Everything said in mediation remains private and cannot be used in court unless both parties agree, or in very limited legal exceptions under the Mediation Act 2017.
What if we can't agree?
Even if mediation doesn't resolve every issue, it often narrows the areas of disagreement, reducing future stress and cost.
Do we need to see solicitors first?
No. You can begin mediation at any stage. Many couples choose to inform their solicitors once progress has been made through mediation.
What if children are involved?
Child-inclusive mediation is available and can help parents make better-informed decisions based on the child's experience and needs.
