I have suggested mediation to my ex in the past on numerous occasions but she has never replied.
For my own knowledge I would like to know how I go about arranging a mediation session / sessions in case they are needed in the future.
Do I employe a solicitor and ask them to write to my ex requesting she goes to mediation with me? Or do I contact a mediation service and get them to write to her?
If the later is the case how do I prove I have attempted mediation?
Regards justme
You can contact a mediation service by yourself. There are stickies on the site to find out moore and find one in your area.
If mediation breaks down or your ex refuxes they will issue you with an FM1 form to shoow you tried.
If you contact a mediator they will contact your ex requesting that she attend.

Dave
Thank's again Dave you have helped me once again!
Nothing has changed it's my little princesses birthday today but unfortunately I have not seen her as she went away for 2 weeks with her mum this morning. I asked her mum to text a few times to let me know how my daughter is but my ex said she won't be texting at all. She is awkward I'm used to her by now so I will just see my daughter the Sunday she gets back like we have agreed.
I'm just thinking more long term (like when my daughter starts school) how I would go about mediation then if need be.
Thanks again for your reply.
