Although mediators can put your case within a legal
framework, they are not allowed to give you legal advice and you will
therefore be encouraged to get advice from a solicitor at the appropriate
time. You need advice from your solicitor so that you can make informed
decisions. Your solicitor will give you an idea of the best and worst possible
case scenarios were the matter to be dealt with by a Judge in court. Also,
once you and your partner have reached a mediated settlement, you will need a
solicitor to check your proposals and turn them into a binding agreement.
