International Mediation

It is becoming far more common for international issues to be involved when a couple separates. This potentially adds complexity to issues on separation, for example, in relation to arrangements for children where their parents are living in different countries or in relation to the resolution of finances. 

Mediation provides separating couples with the opportunity to resolve issues arising from their separation, minimising conflict, with the support of a specialist independent mediator. Our mediators are highly regarded and repeatedly recommended by other professionals and lawyers to assist their clients in reaching a resolution. Our family mediators are also practising lawyers with experience in international family and divorce work. 

We are able to assist with a variety of circumstances, to include:

• Dealing with separation where one of you may live abroad or have assets based abroad. This could be, for example, a house in France, Spain or elsewhere or indeed could be where one of you may live and or work abroad.  We are able to assist and support a separating couple in looking at the options which may be available to them in the division of their finances, to include property and pensions. 
• Assisting clients to reach decisions on their child relocating either in UK or overseas. This could involve issues such as where they will go to school and how they will maintain a relationship with the other parent. Our mediators recognise that whether the relocation is within that UK or overseas that these are important issues that parents will often need support with.
• Children travelling abroad for a holiday. We help parents work together on issues such as these in a way that keeps their children’s best interests at the forefront of their decisions.

As we are able to offer mediation via video link as well as in person, geography and /or time zones need not be a bar to mediating.
