When parents have different work schedules or live far apart, agreeing on arrangements for school holidays can be complex.
A Child Arrangements Order can be tailored to specific needs, ensuring that the child’s care and educational needs are taken care of realistically.
The court will consider factors such as the distance between the parents’ homes, the child’s age, and any previous agreements or orders between the parents.
The order can also include any necessary provisions, such as the exchange of documents, pick-up locations, and transportation arrangements for the child.
Christmas is a special time, especially for children. When parents separate, however, it can turn into a stressful and complicated time, particularly when it comes to making arrangements for the child.
A Child Arrangements Order can specify which parent the child should spend Christmas with and on what dates.
The order can also include provisions for parents to communicate with each other over the Christmas period, allowing the child to speak and spend time with both parents.
A Child Arrangements Order will usually specify the arrangements for the child’s birthday celebration.
If birthdays are shared, then the child might spend the day with one parent, then another day with the other.
Such an arrangement ensures that both parents can make their child’s birthday celebration memorable without arguing about who has the right to celebrate with the child on the actual day.
Spousal maintenance is a financial arrangement in which one spouse provides support to the other after a divorce or separation. It is designed to provide financial assistance to the spouse who is financially dependent on the other spouse. Spousal maintenance can be a contentious issue during divorce or separation, making it a key component of family mediation. During spousal maintenance mediation, the mediator helps both spouses determine fair and reasonable financial arrangements that meet their needs. They discuss each party’s financial needs, earning capacity, and other relevant factors to come up with a mutually beneficial resolution.
Family mediation itself is not legally binding. It is the agreement that is reached through mediation that can be legally binding.
A mediator will encourage the parties to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all. Once an agreement has been reached, it can be written up into a formal legal agreement to be approved by a court.
If a party breaches the formal agreement, then they can be taken to court. It is crucial to note that only written agreements can be legally binding.

To what end does a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) serve?
The initial consultation with a trained family mediator to discuss whether or not mediation could help you resolve your dispute outside of court is called a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM).
The mediator’s job is to help you and the other parent talk through your problems, consider possible solutions, evaluate how well they would work inpractise, and ultimately agree on the best course of action.
In shuttle mediation, the disputing parties are separated into separate rooms, and the mediator “shuttles” between them until they strike a compromise.
The mediator is obligated to retain in strictest confidence any information shared with them during the mediation process.
Since is it can be or at any if it becomes that one or both aren’t a through it.
It is the mediator’s responsibility to ensure that the interests and perspectives of the children involved are taken into account.
Often, before beginning a mediation process, all parties must attend a MIAM. A MIAM is an initial meeting where the mediator assesses whether mediation is appropriate for the conflict at hand. This assessment includes whether the parties are prepared for mediation, whether any safety procedures need to be followed, and any other necessary factors.
