Is Mediation for me?

When can I use Mediation?

You can use mediation at any stage you feel it would help; whether you are living together, separated, divorced, during ongoing divorce or court proceedings.

Mediation can also help already separated couples work out new arrangements in changed circumstances, as well as wider family members such as grandparents.

What can be discussed in mediation

How you will share your time with the children and make major decisions about your children.

Sorting out a financial settlement; what happens to the family home, how should assets be divided and what happens to the liabilities. How should pensions be treated. What level of financial support is needed and how much should be paid for child support.

Reconsidering arrangements that are no longer working

What do Mediators do

Mediators offer a neutral place to discuss your issues in confidence. They make sure that discussions are fair and that you and your partner feel safe. The Mediator will not tell you what to do or take sides but can make suggestions, share ideas and help you to look at different solutions. The Mediator can help you to understand each other’s and the children’s needs and concerns.
