Mediation helps couples to resolve matters arising from separation or divorce. It avoids the high costs and stress of the court process and allows you to take control of the outcomes.
It is not designed to discuss whether the relationship can still work but to help you both to move forward and co-operate in making decisions on children and/or financial issues.
What is mediation?
Family mediation is a process in which an independent, professionally trained mediator helps you work out arrangements for children and finances following separation.
Mediation takes place in a confidential and informal setting online or in person. The mediators are impartial - they do not advise you or represent you individually but help you to explore the options and ways of reaching an agreement whilst avoiding pressure being put on either of you. They help you to communicate effectively and arrive at practical and sensible solutions.
