A recent online mediation case about finances has reached full agreement after four shuttle mediation sessions. Shuttle mediation is where both people work with the same mediator and are each person is in a separate online meeting room, with the mediator moving between them. The couple shared all the financial information. Family Matters received the following testimonial.
“Divorce is a terrible thing. Fighting over money is when you see the one you once loved turn into someone you don’t even recognise!
“Thank you for making it as easy as I think it could be. My ex was opposed to mediation, so we went down the route of solicitors, getting absolutely nowhere, just going around in circles, wasting time and money.
“Although it was my idea originally, I was very nervous about doing the shuttle mediation sessions. I thought I might feel railroaded into making snap decisions, but it was the opposite. The mediator always did their very best to put me at ease, ensuring that there was no rush. I liked the shuttling between us: it actually gave me time to reflect.
“The mediator remained totally professional and impartial throughout all of our sessions. They have been very responsive, and emailed the documentation updates very quickly and accurately.
“Although I’ve got to say, fingers crossed I’ll never meet you in a professional capacity again.
Take care and thank you!!“
