Divorce is the order of the day. Every year, more and more people decide to sign divorce papers in the UK. According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, there are more than 100,000 divorcesin England and Wales, up 9% on the previous year.

As well as being painful, this process also costs money for the parties involved. During the process, disputes and anger can arise, emotionally draining the couple. For this reason, MIAM mediation helps to resolve conflicts more efficiently and with less stress.

The benefits of using mediation in divorce

Cost effectiveness

As mentioned above, divorce can be a painful and expensive process. That is why mediation has become a cost-saving option. It proves to be a cheaper option than traditional court proceedings, which involve lawyers and extra fees.

Quicker resolutions

For some couples the divorce process can take months, even years. This leads to more tension within the couple. Mediation is there to find solutions in less time, allowing both parties to move on with their lives without having to go through a lengthy process.

Less stressful process

In a mediation session, a neutral space is created where the couple can communicate constructively, reducing tension and achieving a less stressful process, with both parties working together to reach an agreement.
