Family dispute resolution in Bath

We offer two main approaches to resolving the practice issues surrounding divorce and relationship breakdown without the need for court action – family mediation and collaborative law. Both options can save you a considerable amount of time and money, while keeping conflict to a minimum, making things easier on you and your loved ones.

Family mediation in Bath

Mediation is the most commonly used method for making financial settlements and arrangements for children during a divorce or separation. The process involves a series of meetings between you and your ex-partner in the presence of a trained mediator.

The mediator’s role is to facilitate the discussion, keeping things on track and helping to defuse any potential conflict. Any agreement you make through mediation will be voluntary, but can be made legally binding with a Consent Order if required.

Mediation is generally the fastest and least expensive way to deal with divorce and we have a number of trained mediators in house who can provide an expert family mediation service in Bath.

Collaborative law in Bath

Often used where there are more complicated or contentious issues to resolve, this approach involves a series of 4-way ‘round the table’ meetings between you, your ex-partner and your respective lawyers.

As with mediation, the goal is to negotiate a voluntary agreement about how to deal with issues such as making a financial settlement and arrangements for children. They key difference is that you have your own lawyer by your side to advise and represent you.

Our team includes trained collaborative lawyers who can support you during negotiations with your ex-partner, helping to give you confidence that your legal position and interests are protected at all times.
