Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a document created during mediation that records the agreements you and your ex-partner have reached.
This may include arrangements for children, finances, property or other important family matters.
The MoU provides a clear written summary of the decisions made during mediation,
helping to reduce misunderstandings and giving both parties clarity moving forward.
Although an MoU is not legally binding, it can be used by a solicitor to prepare a legally binding Consent Order for approval by the court.
Family mediation allows you to remain in control of the decisions affecting your family, rather than having decisions imposed by the court. The MoU helps document those agreements clearly and gives both parties confidence in the way forward.
