After a divorce, parents often seek mediation to work out the details of their new life together, with the interests of their children always front in their minds.
As you can expect, children are worried about the future as a result of the changes occurring in their household.
While their parents are in mediation, children who participate in “Child Inclusive Mediation” can express their feelings and offer their perspectives without having to make decisions or choose sides.
We recognise that in this time of change, children value the opportunity to voice their concerns and provide input on future plans.
Your mediator will discuss ways in which your children can be involved and, if you and your ex-spouse agree, will schedule separate meetings with your children.
Most of the time, these conferences are held in a neutral location, such an office or a school after hours, and they are scheduled at a time that is convenient for all parties involved.
Your mediator will have a conversation with your children about the issues you both believe are important to discuss, such as the impact of a potential sale of the family home.
How do you think your children will react to the fact that you’re no longer together?
When children are included in the mediation process, they have a voice. This is especially helpful because their worries won’t always be the same as yours.
Meetings with children are private, so they can control how their thoughts and feelings are communicated to their parents.
When children were given a voice in the mediation process, their parents worked together to make their goals a reality.
Success Stories
From Lakes Mediation Cockermouth Clients
When it comes to family disputes, Lakes Family MediationCockermouth recognizes the significance of considering the perspectives and needs of children. That is precisely why we offer a specialized process known as Child Inclusive Mediation (CIM).
CIM enables children to have a voice in the decision-making process, even if they do not directly participate in mediation sessions.
Through one-on-one interviews with children, they gain invaluable insights into their thoughts, feelings, and preferences. These insights are then shared with parents during mediation, empowering them to make informed decisions that prioritize the well-being of their children.
With CIM, our aim is to foster an environment where children feel acknowledged and understood, leading to positive outcomes for the entire family. Put your trust in Lakes Family MediationCockermouth for compassionate and effective solutions that cater to the unique needs of your family.
