Family Mediation

What is Family Mediation?

 

If you are separating or divorcing, family mediation helps you sort out disputes “ without involving big legal fees or going through a long drawn-out court battle.

 

Professional family mediators help you work out what happens after you split up.

 

The mediator will not try to get you and your ex-partner back together.

 

The mediator can also help when you have been separated a while and need to sort something out.

 

A mediator will listen to you and your ex-partner explain your concerns and views to each other and will help you both to reach an agreement.

 

Mediation works by helping people find practical solutions that feel fair.

 

We are a successful family mediation service that is cost effective, sensible and a realistic alternative to court action. Our mediators possess vast experience of family law disputes. The mediator will meet with both parties and discuss their concerns and help them reach mutual decisions on a range of issues such as access to children, finance, divorce and property cases.

 

Family mediation is an option to sorting out family disputes without going through court.

 

 

Family mediation helps if your relationship has broken down and you need to sort out practical issues such as:

 

  • Make arrangements for children
  • Sort out property and finances (e.g. house, savings, pension)
  • Child maintenance payments
  • Improve communication
  • Minimise costs
  • Avoid court
