Family Mediation : Karen and Andy

Customer Scenarios

Family mediation has been gaining in popularity for the past few years. It’s no wonder because it helps resolve issues among couples. Whether the problem is about the financial aspect, relationship, or child visitation, it is the most effective way to take into account.

Unlike the court proceedings, family mediation is less stressful, less expensive, more flexible, quicker, more child-centred, more peaceful, and more confidential. Aside from that, confrontations will no longer be a dilemma.

With our history of serving a range of people, Karen and Andy’s story is one.

The Problem

The couple never got married. But they had a child two years ago. The misunderstanding was that Andy has never paid child maintenance. He never supported Karen to handle the costs and needs of their child.

Why Mediation?

Karen wanted to demonstrate Andy the high costs of raising their child. But she was unable to have an opportunity to talk to him.

Family mediation allows each party to communicate his or her thoughts and feelings. While Karen was able to get enough financial support, Andy was given a chance to tell his side.

It was a fair conversation. What’s important is that the resolution is reasonable for the couples. Family mediation is a win-win solution.

Mediation is also confidential. Court proceedings are not that private. Other people might overhear any intimate details. Privacy is quite little.

Of course, all couples don’t want the public to know their situation. However, filing the case on the court is less confidential. Family mediation is a top-notch solution to have. Keeping your details private and protecting your child can turn into a reality.

Family Mediation Customer Scenarios - How Was It Resolved?

All family problems can be addressed without confrontation and violence. Family mediation can play a big role. Not only can it lead to emotion-free conversation, but it can also ensure good results in no time.

In Karen and Andy’s case, the former brought a detailed spreadsheet of the monthly costs about their child’s financial needs. It was an attempt to show Andy the specific numbers.

How It Worked?

Of course, people might believe that a father who doesn’t support his child in terms of financial matters may appeal irresponsible. Maybe some are not doing their duties.

But not all cases are the same. Andy confessed to taking another lower paid job. After lots of discussions, he confessed that he was struggling to pay all his bills. That’s why he was unable to support his child financially.

Despite that, he promised to start paying his child’s daily expenses when his job prospects increase. He also agreed to do his other responsibilities.
