Ensure your child's voice is heard and their well-being is prioritised during your divorce. Our child-focused services provide a safe, neutral space for children to express their feelings and concerns through age-appropriate methods. A specialised professional advocates for their emotional needs, helping parents understand their perspective to create parenting plans that truly support a healthy and secure future for the whole family.
Once you and the other party have chosen mediation, the formal process begins with signing an Agreement to Mediate. WeMediate will facilitate this step, coordinating with both parties to ensure it is executed correctly. This agreement is the foundation of a process conducted in line with the principles of the Gauteng Mediation Protocol, emphasising confidentiality and good faith.
If you have already initiated court proceedings, you can still choose mediation. Simply notify the clerk of the court of your intention to mediate. It can be done at any point before judgment, though acting sooner will significantly reduce your litigation costs.
WeMediate will supply you with a checklist of all necessary documentation to be submitted before your first session. The number of sessions required varies depending on the complexity of the issues, such as asset division or parenting plans, but the goal is always to reach a mutually acceptable settlement.
Upon successful conclusion, a comprehensive settlement agreement will be drafted for both parties to sign. This document is then submitted to the court to open a case and obtain a case number and issue combined summons. Our process is streamlined for an uncontested divorce.
However, if one party fails to participate in good faith, the mediation will be concluded and a Certificate of Non-Participation will be issued. Our process is designed to be efficient and supportive, guiding you toward a cooperative resolution wherever possible.
Our Core Value Add
We integrate mediation, wellness, child advocacy, and legal guidance into one seamless, holistic process. This ensures durable, legally sound agreements that protect your family's future. Our commitment extends beyond our clients, as we actively serve the broader community through pro bono cases, believing everyone deserves access to compassionate dispute resolution.
Family law mediation offers a cooperative path to resolve disputes during separation or divorce. Instead of a judge imposing a decision, a neutral mediator helps you and the other party negotiate terms yourselves. You work together to create a tailored agreement on issues like parenting plans, asset division, and support. This confidential process is typically faster, less costly, and less stressful than court, putting your family’s future firmly in your hands.
Educational psychology explores how people learn and develop in educational settings. It focuses on understanding the cognitive, emotional, and social processes that influence learning, from memory and motivation to classroom dynamics. This science helps educators develop effective teaching strategies, create inclusive curricula, and support students with diverse learning needs. Ultimately, educational psychology aims to optimise the learning experience, fostering academic achievement and personal growth for every child.
The "Voice of the Child" process ensures a child's feelings and preferences are heard during family disputes, like divorce. A specially trained professional meets with the child in a safe, neutral setting, using age-appropriate methods to help them express their views. This insight is shared in confidence with parents and mediators, helping to inform parenting plans and decisions. The goal is not to place burden on the child, but to safeguard their emotional well-being and ensure their needs are central to the final agreement.
