Best Family Law Practitioners in Hove

How do I make the most of family mediation? - Work with family consultant, therapists and counsellors to help your emotional well-being. It’s a very difficult time so anything you do to improve your mental health the more able you will be to deal with mediation. - read everything that is sent to you, more than once. - Do all the homework set and meet the deadlines agreed; if you don’t think you can then let everyone know in good time. - Ask questions. Ask lots of questions. If you don’t understand something then ask; it’s likely that clarity is needed for everyone. Don’t worry about asking the same question again – mediators are used to it and welcome these questions. - Attend all sessions as agreed. If you can’t then give everyone lots of notice to re-arrange. - Try to explain how you feel about things, what’s worrying you and ask the mediator to help address your concerns. - Don’t keep secrets about your current life or your future intentions. All information is crucial and can be dealt with appropriately. - Don’t’ try and ‘second guess’ an outcome. Be willing to consider all options and ideas. That way they can all be discussed and checked to see if they will suit you both (and your children). - Keep going! It’s hard work but worth it when you have a solution that works for your family.
