Mediation in family relationships<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Keeping families together thanks to mediation. When a loved one dies, when a family business is transferred, or when assets are divided, tension can arise. Family members do not agree on the division and, in all the emotion, a conflict arises. A certified mediator from Serenitas helps to deminish this conflict. Together with all parties, we look for a solution with respect for each other's interests. We bring the family members together. Serenitas guides the process and facilitates the talks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Mediation process<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Mediation offers an alternative route to a court decision. As a party, you retain control over the outcome, get a chance to talk about what is really close to your heart under the professional guidance of an accredited mediator. The aim is to reach an agreement that all parties feel good about. Each mediation process is tailor-made, but follows a step-by-step plan with proven effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Step 1. <\/span>Intake interview<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Together, we consider whether mediation is the right way forward. This can be done individually or together with the parties involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Step 2. <\/span>Joint discussions<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

We listen to everyone's concerns, expectations and emotions. On this basis, we decide in consultation which topics to discuss.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Step 3. <\/span>Finding solutions<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

With respect for all parties, a sustainable and workable solution is negotiated.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Step 4. <\/span>Drafting agreement<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

If an agreement is reached, it is put in writing and signed. A judge can ratify it.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Step 5. <\/span>Aftercare and follow-up<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

If necessary, parties can meet again later to refine or evaluate agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The number of conversations cannot be predetermined; we always follow the pace of those involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
