FAQ’s
What is family mediation?
Family mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral mediator helps you and the other person involved talk through issues such as divorce, finances, child arrangements, or extended family disputes. The goal is to reach practical, mutually acceptable solutions without going to court.
How does the process work?
The process usually begins with an initial meeting where the mediator explains how mediation works and helps you decide if it’s right for you. If both parties agree to proceed, individual or joint sessions (depending on situation) are scheduled where you work together to resolve your issues.
Is mediation legally binding?
The agreements you reach in mediation are not automatically legally binding but they can be made legally binding by having them drafted into a Consent Order and approved by a court.
In Pakistan, a consent order, often known as a consent decree or compromise decree,is a judgment granted by a court when the parties in a lawsuit have reached a mutual agreement or compromise on the issues in dispute. Under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) 1908, specifically Order XXIII Rule 3, this agreement is recorded and formalized by the court. A consent order is legally binding and has the same force as a judgment passed after a full trial, but it does not have better legal status than the agreement it is based on.
Is mediation confidential?
Yes. Everything you discuss in mediation is private and cannot be used in court.
Do I need a lawyer for mediation?
You don’t need a lawyer to attend mediation, but many people choose to get independent legal advice alongside mediation. This ensures you fully understand your rights and options.
How long does it take?
Most family mediations are completed in 3–5 sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues. Each session usually lasts between 1–2 hours.
How much does it cost?
Mediation is usually much more affordable than going to court. Costs depend on the number of sessions and the complexity of the case, but you pay per session and control how many sessions you need.
What if the other person refuses to mediate?
Mediation is voluntary, so both parties must agree to take part.
What if we cannot reach an agreement?
Even if you don’t reach a full agreement, mediation often helps narrow down the issues, making the next steps (such as legal proceedings) easier, quicker, and less expensive.
Is family mediation suitable for high-conflict situations?
Yes, in many cases. Mediators are trained to manage high emotions and ensure a respectful conversation. If mediation is not appropriate (for example, due to safety concerns), your mediator will advise you on other options.
Finding Peace in Conflict
Family conflicts don’t have to leave permanent scars. With the right support, families can find closure, dignity, and peace.
