Family mediation is your opportunity to talk about the issues that are important to you and your family. It is most commonly used to help families resolve the property and finances matters arising from a separation, whether you are married or not, and to make arrangements in respect of your children.
Family Mediation is voluntary. It is about having a conversation about what’s important to you. The goal is to find a solution that works for both of you. You are the decision-makers.
The prospect of talking about the issues with your former partner may seem daunting. Mediators are trained to help encourage constructive conversations to help you try and reach a set of proposals. Talking in mediation can help you arrive at practical solutions that work for you.
Family mediation is a convenient and affordable way to discuss the issues, where there is no judgment, and the choices are yours to explore. Usually, separated couples look to family mediation as an alternative to court proceedings, which can be expensive and lengthy. With mediation, you can set the timetable for your conversations.
