Can mediation help if we have already nearly reached a settlement?
Yes. A small number of separating couples who come to us
have already discussed matters at some length between them and have an overall
idea of the settlement they wish to make. Mediation can help because the
mediator can ensure that the separating couple have taken into account all the
relevant factors in reaching their joint proposals and can also present those
proposals in such a way so that advising solicitors can then turn them into a
watertight legally binding agreement quickly and inexpensively.
