The Benefits of Family Mediation

• Control: you decide the outcome, not a Judge.
• Delay: the process is much quicker than court proceedings.
• Lower cost: you avoid unnecessary legal costs.
• Less stressful: you avoid the anxiety and stress of combative court proceedings.

Is Family Mediation Right for You?

Mediation is suitable for most separating couples, including those:

• Getting divorced or dissolving a civil partnership.
• Living apart but needing to agree on parenting and finances.
• Who want to avoid escalating tensions through legal proceedings.

If there are concerns about safety, abuse, or coercion, we will discuss this at your MIAM and if necessary, signpost you to alternative support options.
