One of the common disputes we help parents to resolve in mediation iis

Sorting out disagreements about taking their children out of the UK on holiday.
Whether it’s a frustrated Mum or Dad who perceives their parental responsibility is being undermined by the other - or there was an expectation that they could take their children on holiday -often booking with consideration of the other parents feelings for fear of refusal.
Within one session this can be resolved.

Whats the point in going to mediation with an ex that you find controlling?

To get some insight into what it is that they really want from you.
To get some information that will help you develop a workable strategy.

To understand what they are trying to achieve and what their main motivations are.

Being with a neutral 3rd party it’s likely your ex will be at their best. This will give you a platform to help you both explore different options towards finding a workable solution for the children and any finances.

Mediation can still be successful with someone who you find controlling- it’s might not easy- but things worth doing rarely are!
