Mediator for divorce separation near Glasgow

[NovemberNovemberNovember]

Does anyone have a recommendation of a mediator in the Glasgow area to help us resolve our divorce / separation?
Also, any tips?

My tip would be not to trust him. I obviously don't know your circumstances but when things get to the separation stage, IME, you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself and your assets; the other party can often 'turn' if they have been or seemed reasonable before now.

If he has been abusive I would strongly recommend contacting Women's Aid who are a great support and can recommend good solicitors in your area. It might be an idea to ask them for recommendations anyway, even if you don't need their support.

Good luck to you @NovemberNovemberNovember , I hope you're as okay as you can be, it's not an easy time even if it is the right thing for you

Hi, I absolutely do not trust him. I've an appointment with a lawyer, but it's 3 weeks away as they are all very busy. I'm also open to trying mediation but he's def not trying to be generous or even fair so I know I will end up at the lawyer.

Womans aid have been an absolute let down. No help at all in my area.

I do think its important to try the mediator on the off chance he grows a concience. We've 3 children together so you'd hope so.

I'm sorry you've not had any luck with WA @NovemberNovemberNovember .

Who suggested the mediation? Please be very careful with that, especially if it wasn't your idea. I know that counselling is never recommended when there is abuse in a relationship, I would imagine mediation could be the same unless the mediator is well up on abuse and able to handle someone who might charm them and get them on his side. You could end up worse off, please proceed with caution.

He is unlikely to grow a conscience at this stage so please don't think your children will afford you any leniency on his part. Some men really can't cope with being told no and what bigger no is there than divorce. IME even when it's their own choice they can be extremely vindictive, they have the potential to do whatever they can to 'punish' you and their own children are very often used as part of their armoury, no matter what the damage to them might be.
