Unlocking the Benefits of Hybrid Family Mediation
When it comes to resolving family disputes, choosing the right mediation model can make all the difference. Hybrid family mediation is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those seeking a more efficient and flexible way to settle disagreements. At Family Mediation Services, we specialise in hybrid mediation, offering a streamlined and supportive process tailored to meet your needs.
So, what is hybrid family mediation and why should you consider it? Here are five key advantages of using the hybrid mediation model in family law:
1. Resolve Disputes Faster and Save Money
Time is precious, especially when dealing with family matters. Hybrid mediation typically occurs over a single block of time, commonly one day. This concentrated approach means you can resolve disputes quicker and more cost-effectively. While the mediation session may be adjourned if needed, the focus remains on resolving issues promptly, saving you both time and legal expenses.
2. Flexible Mediation Procedures
Hybrid mediation blends joint and private meetings to encourage open communication while protecting confidentiality. The process usually starts with a joint meeting where both parties present their positions orally. Afterward, each party participates in separate, confidential meetings (caucuses). We can adjust this structure to fit your unique situation.
3. Comprehensive Information Gathering
Preparation is key to successful mediation so in hybrid family mediation, parties typically submit case summaries and share relevant documents before the mediation session. This pre-mediation exchange ensures that all parties are well-informed and can engage in meaningful discussions. It also promotes transparency and adherence to agreed-upon codes of conduct.
4. Access Legal and Expert Support
One of the standout features of hybrid mediation is the ability to involve legal professionals and other experts directly. You can also bring in specialists, such as accountants, either on the day or via phone, to handle complex financial issues. This comprehensive support strengthens the mediation process.
5. Sign Agreements Quickly or Move to Arbitration
Hybrid mediation focuses on results and you can sign agreements on the same day, offering immediate resolution and peace of mind. If mediation doesn’t resolve every issue, you can schedule an Arbitration appointment within four weeks. This proactive step keeps the momentum going toward a final resolution.
