How Do Our Divorce Solicitors, Newcastle, Work?

Our divorce solicitors, Newcastle, are members of ‘Resolution’, an organisation of some 6,500 family law professionals who share the common goal of promoting the constructive resolution of family law cases. We firmly believe that litigation should be a last resort in divorce and civil partnership dissolution matters, and we actively encourage our clients to seek quicker, cheaper, and less acrimonious ways of settling their differences.

Save in exceptional cases, such as those involving domestic abuse, all parties to divorce or civil partnership proceedings are obliged by law to attend a meeting, known as a ‘MIAM’ before making an application to the Court. MIAM stands for ‘Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting’, and is an opportunity for an impartial third party, known as the mediator, to assess the case’s suitability for mediation. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution whereby a trained mediator works with the parties to find solutions to their issues without the need for Court proceedings.

You are not obliged to attend a mediation even if the mediator believes it may help in your case. However, mediation has an excellent success rate in divorce matters. It is quick, cost-effective, and allows you to make arrangements that fit in with your lifestyle, rather than being bound by the decision of a Judge with limited understanding of you and your family.

There are several other types of alternative dispute resolution methods, like arbitration, that can also be used to great effect in divorce and civil partnership dissolution matters. Our divorce solicitors, Newcastle, will explore each option with you and help you decide which is right for you.
