Welcome to Manchester & Cheshire Mediation

Helping people who are divorcing or separating or who want to make ongoing arrangements for their children.

What is Mediation?

When a relationship breaks down, emotions run high and talking face to face can seem the hardest thing to do. Mediation can help you have those difficult discussions so that you can focus on what is best for you and your children.

Court Proceedings

Parents can make arrangements for children without involving the court. If this is not possible, before the court will deal with your case, you will be required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM).

Costs

If either of the parties qualify for legal aid, one of our sessions of mediation is completely FREE for both parties. If you pay privately the charge for mediation is usually substantially cheaper than going through the court proceedings.

"Specialist mediation starts with a careful evaluation of your needs."

How Mediation can help you

Mediation is a process to help people who are divorcing or separating or who want to make ongoing arrangements for their children. Mediation helps you to work things out together. It is not relationship counselling or a way to help you get back together.

A professionally trained mediator helps you to talk through the issues that are important to you and make arrangements that are best for you and your children. Mediation can be far quicker and is much cheaper than court proceedings. Divorce and Separation are always traumatic but mediation can lessen the pain for you and your family.

What do our clients say?

I attended Manchester and Cheshire Mediation to resolve problems surrounding child arrangements and contact with my children. The mediator helped us to focus on the needs of our children and work out a shared parenting plan that placed them at the centre of our decision. I felt this was a more intimate and productive way of resolving our issues without the need for expensive Court intervention and associated costs.

The mediator also made it known that we could return in the future and if necessary could undertake a child consultation session whenever our discussions did not prove fruitful.

Richardfrom Gatley
I attended mediation to sort out my finances post divorce. The situation was complicated by the fact that time had elapsed and my ex was living abroad. I attended a total of 2 sessions by zoom with the mediator. Was very happy with the mediation process and final outcome. All the staff at Manchester and Cheshire Mediation very helpful and informative. I also discovered that I was entitled to claim Legal Aid due to claiming Universal Credit which they arranged on my behalf. Legal Aid entitled me to free mediation sessions.
