Family mediation is an independent and impartial professional service. A trained mediator will help facilitate discussions to reach an agreement regarding the arrangements for your children, property and financial matters.
Mediation is recognised as an effective alternative to resolving disputes (NCDR). The courts will expect you to have considered mediation before hearing your case. Mediation is voluntary; all parties must be willing to participate and be open, and honest.
Mediators do not give legal or financial advice but can provide legal information regarding obtaining a divorce, Child Arrangement Orders and Financial Consent Orders. Couples who are separating, whether married, in civil partnerships, or cohabitating need to agree on matters regarding children or finances.

Child Inclusive Mediation gives children a voice and an opportunity to share their worries, and concerns and contribute to the plans for the future when their parents have decided to divorce or separate.
When children have been allowed to share their views in mediation, parents work together to make sure their children’s voices are heard and their wishes become a reality.
Many couples who have decided to separate or divorce may be unable to agree on certain matters including arrangements for the children, all financial matters and property.
Family mediation is a confidential and impartial process where the mediator helps those involved explore options for moving forward and engage in meaningful discussion to reduce disputes and conflict.
Mediation saves time, and money and enables decisions to be made without having to go through the courts. It is a quicker and less costly way of resolving disputes and enables people to work through their concerns in a neutral and safe environment.
Mediation can help you stay in control. It supports you in making the decisions. The mediator will help you explore solutions which work for you all and explain how you can make an agreement legally binding.
