Pension and Mediation

Pensions

Any pension earned during marriage is generally assumed to be a joint asset between a husband and a wife. Culturally, all the splitting of the pensions have been left to the courts to do it and also decide whether survivor benefits are legally payable. Areas we cover click here.

With this being a general assumption that the pension is mutually earned and therefore jointly owned, there is some element of unfairness in the judgement. Mediation UK can solve this unfair treatment. This is because the qualified and expert mediator will come in independently to search a solution to help the disputing parties.

It is to be noted that the major difference between a Countrywide mediation and a solicitor in pension splitting is that solicitors makes decisions based on general assumptions while Countrywide Mediation makes decisions based on mutually agreed terms from both disputing parties.

Legal disputes are a common feature in the court of laws. This disputes include land disputes, divorces, or legal action against employers. Even before turning to the a solicitor, the disputing parties mostly try to talk to the third parties at the beginning only to realize that this method is not going to work.

This methods of approaching disputes are usually filled with many shortcomings. First and foremost, they involve huge costs which always keep on escalating as the case continues. It is common to find a small case spending thousands of pounds over a certain period.

Secondly, the legal way can be time consuming. With the current complex and complicated nature of the laid down laws, legal cases take a long time to get solved. This is because a solicitor will need to examine all the laws that relate to the plaintiffs case. This can be stressful and the only solution to it is to try an approach known as mediation.

What is Family Mediation?

Mediation  involves three parties, that is, the two disputing parties and an expert usually called a mediator.
