Amicable Divorce and Mediation doesn't have to be a battle

Divorce Doesn’t Have to be a Battle

You may be here because everything suddenly feels uncertain and you don’t know where to turn.

Separation can bring a lot of questions at once. What happens to the family home? How will the finances be sorted? What arrangements will work for the children? Do you need a MIAM before court? And how do you avoid things becoming more difficult than they already are?

You may be thinking:

I don’t know where to start.
I want to avoid court if possible.
I need to sort finances and the family home.
I’m worried about the children.
I need a MIAM certificate.
I want practical guidance before making decisions.

The focus is always on finding workable solutions, reducing conflict, and helping you move forward.

Choose the support that fits where you are now

Start with a MIAM

A confidential one-to-one meeting to understand your situation, explore whether mediation may be suitable, and explain your options before you decide what to do next.

You may need this before a court application, or you may simply want to understand your options.

Family Mediation – work things out together

Mediation gives you a structured, neutral space to discuss children, finances, property and practical arrangements without handing decisions straight to the court.

Mediation is suitable when you both want to explore whether agreement is possible, even if things feel difficult at the moment.

Divorce Nicely does not mean pretending everything is fine

It means dealing with difficult decisions fairly and step by step. It means having structured conversations instead of endless arguments. It means understanding your options before spending more money, time and energy than you need to.

Practical Structure

I help you break the process down into manageable steps, so you are not trying to solve everything at once.

You take everything a step at a time so you are not overwhelmed.

Legally informed, not legal advice

As a non-practising solicitor and experienced mediator, I can provide clear legal information while remaining neutral.

Clear boundaries and fees

You know what is included, what is not included, and when further work may be chargeable, with no surprises.

Online and Accessible

Meetings take place online, allowing you to conveniently access support from wherever you are if your divorce is taking place in the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

Move at your pace

You do not have to resolve everything immediately. Breaking the process down into manageable steps feels more structured and less overwhelming.

You will be working directly with me, Cathy O’Mahoney

I am a Family Mediation Council Accredited mediator, a non-practising solicitor, and the founder of Divorce Nicely. I have over 30 years’ experience and have worked with separating couples and families for many years.

I know that people often come to mediation feeling anxious, defensive, overwhelmed or unsure. My role is to provide a structured process so that you can understand your options and make informed decisions.

What happens next?

Step 1 – Contact me

Send a message or book a MIAM. You do not need to know exactly what service you need before getting in touch.

Step 2 – Attend your individual MIAM

This gives you a confidential space to explain your situation and understand your options.

Step 3 – Decide whether mediation is suitable

If mediation is appropriate and both people are willing to proceed, we agree the next step together.

Step 4 – Work through the issues

Mediation can help with children arrangements, finances, property, pensions and practical next steps.

Not ready to contact your former partner?

You may not be ready for mediation yet. You may still be gathering information, thinking about your options, or trying to understand what separation would mean in practical terms.

A one-to-one divorce consultancy session can help you get clearer before you decide what to do next.
