What Family Mediation Can Help With
Family mediation can assist with a wide range of issues following separation or divorce:
Finances on Divorce or Separation
You can use mediation to reach agreements on property division, savings, pensions, debts, businesses, and ongoing financial support where appropriate.
Disputes Between Unmarried Couples
For couples who are not married, mediation is often effective in resolving disputes about jointly owned property and shared assets.
Child Arrangements
Mediation supports discussions about where children live, time spent with each parent, schooling, holidays, and day-to-day arrangements.
How Mediation Works
Our impartial mediators guide constructive and focused discussions. This process helps you reach practical agreements that both parties can accept.

With your consent, our mediator will speak to your child in an age appropriate way about what they want and how they feel about things. In a separate meeting, our mediator feeds back your child’s wishes and feelings to you and the other parent.
Child Inclusive Mediation makes sure your child’s voice is heard during the mediation sessions.

We are pleased to offer the government’s £500 voucher scheme towards the cost of mediation involving child arrangements (including when combined with finances).
