Family mediation is a voluntary and confidential process which provides separating and divorcing couples with the opportunity to make their own decisions about future arrangements for their children, finances and property.
Mediation can also be helpful when arrangements you’ve made before may need to change – typically as your children grow up.
Family Mediation gives you the chance to discuss the future in a safe, neutral space. We are trained to help you to have difficult and sensitive discussions in a calm and constructive way.
Communication is central to the mediation process. Mediation can help you to establish a new way of talking together, as you work through and resolve the issues you have both identified. This can be particularly important where you share children who you will co-parent long after the mediation process concludes.
We will talk more about the principles of Mediation during your Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM). You will have an opportunity to ask us any questions you have.

Find clear information on each step of the mediation journey, from children’s needs to financial matters.
If you reach an agreement, we can put it in writing. We can draft documents such as Parenting Plans, Open Financial Statements (OFS) and Memorandums of Understanding (MOU).
Family Mediation offers a real alternative to stressful, expensive and protracted court battles. It lets you keep more control of your family’s future and helps you to move on to the next stage of your life.
If you have children, we always prioritise their needs and wellbeing above all else. If you agree, children of an appropriate age can be consulted confidentially, without reports going to Court.
Sometimes families own their homes and need to decide what will happen to it, or it might be rented and who takes over the tenancy might be an issue. There may be other assets.
