Quick Answer
Jane-Louise Burrows
Mediation is not always an option if there have been recent and/or repeated incidents of domestic abuse.
Engaging in mediation where there has been evidence or accusations of domestic abuse can be a very difficult situation.
In this article, an experienced family mediator at Fullers Family Law explains why mediation may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances.
The important thing is that you must share any incidents of domestic abuse with your family law solicitor or with your mediator at the pre-mediation meeting. That way your solicitor and the mediator can work out if mediation is suitable for you and the mediator can look at what measures can be put in place to help make mediation work for you and your ex-partner.
If you or any children are in any immediate danger you should always call the police on 999.
