Why do so many people decide that mediation
will be unsuccessful?
Well, there are a few barriers that many
mediation clients will experience when they are considering using a mediator.
First of all, lawyers are often contacted
as a first resort. Why? Becase this has become the norm among many people.
Let’s take a look at some of the barriers
that may come up should a family / couple, etc. choose mediation…
1.
The couple / family have
already tried to sort things out, and assume it is too late to mediate
2.
The other party refuses to mediate
3.
The mediator was chosen by the
other party so they cannot possibly be neutral
4.
The other person will most
probably not change their mind no matter what the mediator does
5.
The other party cannot afford
mediation
Many couples / families, etc. who are going
through issues feel that mediation would not provide the right practical and
emotional support. HOWEVER, even though there are challenges when it comes to mediation,
it is in fact the right process to choose!
Mediation is a cost effective, but
effective way to resolve conflicts and disputes, including those which are
complex and high value.
