There was an interesting article published about a really unusual debate between a former couple which has led to a High Court judge having to make a ruling on whether two children exist.
How it can be questioned in any civilized society if a child exists or not?
Obviously in this case there were no evidences about an existing child (or twins) but this is an interesting example how a mediation process should have helped to have a legally reinforceablr agreement between the parties.
Or even restore the estranged relationship?
What do you think?

Interview with Steve Oxley:
I: Everyone wants to know who Steven Oxley is!
Are you an entrepreneur, managing director, retired lawyer, assistant pastor, mediator, or someone else? Who are you?

Steve: All of those and I hope more. Thank you for asking. During my long career I have sold advertising space for Rupert Murdoch, had a chance to work as a Legal Director Europe-Africa -Middle East for a big firm, travelled around the World with my chosen sport, spent 7 years in Italy, Lots of amazing experiences therefore I am ever so grateful to God for the challenges and opportunities of my life. Though I "retired" some years ago, I never stop working, and I now offer my experience in problem-solving and conflict resolution. I support people who have conflict with their employers, business partners or anyone who faces family issues.

I: What are the typical types of support you offer?

Steve: Every case is different. People may be puzzled to fill in forms, to interpret legal jargon, so one of my companies Financial and Legal is specialised in supporting people off-line in an on-line world. People might find it difficult to submit tax self-assessment forms, we’re there to help them. My other company Oxleymediation offers support in conflict-resolution, mediation and business coaching.
Amazing to see when the mission impossible is made possible! The parties can find a compromise solution, this is great. But the most important argument for mediation is, that once the parties signed the agreement, this document has a legal relevance! The agreement is legally enforceable.

I: You should be doing well with people! Listening and understanding the agenda of the different parties might be very complex!

Steve: Indeed, most of my cases have a certain complexity. As a Mediator I am involved in the estranged interests of the different parties, undocumented deliveries and payments, non-agreed perceptions, beliefs and expectations.

This is the lovely side of this job; exploring the deep and real interests below the surface. This needs human experience and strong understanding of people’s motivations.

I: You obviously have strong people-skills: empathy and caring attitude! Do you think so?

Steve: It is the beauty of growing old enough, to learn and understand people! I am very grateful to be appointed an assistant pastor of Kingsway Church, this role is the most amazing appreciation of my support within my communities!

I: If I would ask you to define yourself in one word, how would you describe your role? Who is Steve?

Steve: Shortly, in one word I would call myself Steve the peace-broker! I think this word tells you all you need to know about me!

I: Fair enough! Steve the peace-broker. I will call you during hard times in my business or work.

Successful deal!
When the parties (usually one of them) contact the mediator, the typical issues are derived usually from low documentation or no documentation of the transactions. Moneys were given and taken without proper documents, deliveries, and services were rendered without proper evidences.
Lack of properly documented deals prevent the parties to show evidences in case of court claims.
Hundreds of text messages and post it notes might be exchanged between the parties, but there might not be any proper follow up, where those amounts were spent,
It might take quite long time to find the proper agreed deal between the estranged parties. What mediatiors do, sometimes meeting for several hours, several times with the parties, listening carefully, achieving the agreement finally.
But with stamina and resilience, sooner or later the paries will find a compromise, which is agreed, and offers a practically reasonable and sensible solution.
This is a cathartic feeling, indeed.
But beyond and above the catharsis, the final agrrement signed by both parties makes the claim and agreement legally enforceable.
That is the real breakthrough and achievement!
