How can mediation help us?
It is currently available to all divorcing and separating couples
as an alternative voluntary forum for settling arrangements
concerning property, finances, children and the divorce or separation
itself. Mediators are trained social workers and/or lawyers
experienced in family law. The mediator(s) act as impartial
third parties and help the parties to reach their own joint
decision. The mediation process is confidential. There are various
different styles and models of mediation. Participants are advised
to seek advice on all proposals from their own lawyers who will
also draft the relevant Court documentation if agreement is
reached. If you wish us to recommend a mediator we can do so.
Three members of our department are trained mediators
