Are you in the midst of a family dispute and wondering how to find the right family mediator to guide you through the process of finding a resolution? Choosing the right family mediator can significantly impact the outcome of your case, making it crucial to select one who fits your unique circumstances. In this guide, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when choosing a family mediator and how Direct Mediation Services can assist you in your specific situation.
What to Consider When Choosing a Family Mediator
When selecting a family mediator, it’s essential to look for qualities and characteristics that align with your needs and expectations. Here are some critical considerations:
Qualifications & Accreditations
A reputable family mediator should possess the necessary qualifications and accreditations. Look for professionals accredited by the Family Mediation Council (FMC) and members of recognised mediation associations, such as Resolution, Family Mediation Association and The College of Mediators. These credentials ensure that your mediator adheres to ethical and professional standards.
Accessibility
Consider the location and accessibility of the mediator’s office if you are not mediating online (a very popular option for many). A mediator situated in a convenient location can make the mediation process more accessible for all participants involved. Additionally, inquire about the mediator’s availability, as flexibility can be essential in scheduling sessions that accommodate everyone’s commitments.
Cost & Charges
Understanding the cost structure is essential. Inquire about the fees for mediation services and whether the mediator accepts Legal Aid. If your circumstances require financial assistance, finding a mediator who accommodates Legal Aid can make mediation more accessible to you. Direct Mediation Services hold a direct contract with the Legal Aid Agency for Family Mediation.
