Mediation
In a contentious family situation, mediation can offer an alternative to court proceedings. Mediation is a form of dispute resolution that aims to reach a positive outcome for both parties in a confidential and safe environment. The mediator facilitates the discussions and assists the parties to reach their own decisions about important issues such as arrangements for their children’s care and an appropriate financial settlement following separation. Mediation can be very constructive in reducing both the emotional and financial costs of separation, divorce or contentious family situations.
