Divorce Mediation
In the vast majority of cases, divorcing couples will need to see if they can resolve their differences through mediation. Mediation tends to be much quicker and less expensive than going to court, and it gives you and your spouse more control over the outcome. If your case goes to court, your situation will be decided by a judge. Our divorce mediation solicitors can advise you before your mediation meeting and can convert any agreements, made during mediation, into legally binding orders.
