Family Mediation
Separation and divorce are difficult times for parents and their children. It is important to make decisions which meet the children's needs so that both parents can continue to play a part in their lives.
It is important for parents to reach decisions which meet their children’s needs in order that both parents can continue to play a part in their child’s life.
When parents cannot agree about the arrangements for children, mediation offers a way of reaching decisions. Within the mediation process the child can be consulted and their views taken into account during the discussions. This helps parents feel their children’s voices have been heard.
In order for child consultation to take place both parents must agree and careful preparation of both parents and the child will be undertaken.
The aim of mediation is to help you find sensible, workable arrangements which as far as possible meet the needs of everyone, especially your children.
Mediation can help improve communication by reducing the chance of misunderstanding and arguments. This is especially important if you have children as they can be damaged by ongoing conflict.
