Family Mediation Association spokesperson, Beverley Sayers added:<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Family Mediation Week helps raise awareness amongst separating couples that lawyers and courts aren\u2019t their only divorce option. If both parties can stay patient and open minded, there are much better and cheaper alternatives to going to court,including mediation, and collaborative family law and arbitration. These are usually quicker, cheaper and less confrontational than the traditional court process, making a big difference to any kids involved in what is a hurtful time for everyone in the family.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice, Sir Oliver Heald said:<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I am a strong supporter of mediation and the way in which it can help couples reach agreements and reduce the stress of separation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many circumstances Family Mediation has great benefits for those seeking to resolve disputes away from court. I am very keen to see improved information and signposting, so that more people are aware of how mediation can help dispute resolution.’<\/span><\/p>\n
