Why choose Marcia Mediation's Manchester mediation services?
Marcia Mediation have a hard-earned reputation for providing some of the best family and divorce mediation in Manchester. Over many years we have worked with households across the city and its suburbs, to achieve the most positive outcomes possible.
In order to do this, our Manchester mediation services are as flexible as possible. We introduced remote mediation – via either telephone or webcam applications like Skype and Zoom – long before the COVID-19 pandemic made them the go-to option.
We offer remote MIAMs (Mediation Information & Assessment Meetings), flexible scheduling and shuttle mediation where necessary, to pass messages back and forth between parties who do not feel comfortable negotiating directly face-to-face.
Every Manchester mediation begins with an initial enquiry. We can help you to decide whether to proceed, and there is absolutely no obligation to do so. All enquiries are handled with total confidence, especially in situations where your domestic circumstances are difficult.
There is a mandatory requirement for divorce mediation in Manchester to begin with an MIAM, which is a one-off session for you to find out more about mediation. After your MIAM, you can either proceed using our Manchester mediators, or go to court.
We work closely with divorce solicitors in Manchester too, so your solicitor may refer you to us for your MIAM. Alternatively if you would like to proceed using a solicitor after your MIAM, we can refer you back to a suitable Manchester divorce lawyer.
Shuttle mediation is another option, where your mediator passes messages back and forth between the involved parties, and this can enable progress to be made when communication has broken down.
What our Manchester mediators offer
We aim to provide a wide variety of Manchester mediation services to suit different needs. Some examples of this include:
In addition to all of the above, we also offer business mediation services, helping Manchester employers to resolve workplace disputes in a positive, proactive and amicable way so talented employees can be retained on agreeable terms.
All of our family, civil partnership and divorce mediation in Manchester is aimed at protecting the best interests and mental health of our clients, and that includes all involved parties plus any affected children and caregivers.
Mediators provide an unbiased and independent voice. We do not take sides, but we do act on an aim to achieve the most positive possible results, so there are no losers, only winners.
We work diligently on challenging cases to reopen the lines of communication, overcome any emotional turmoil or stress, and get things moving forwards again.
Mediation can handle the whole process of divorce or separation, leaving you with a document you can take into court to have signed by a judge. Alternatively, we can advise on specific elements of your case, if you would like to put the rest in the hands of some capable Manchester divorce solicitors.
