Free family mediation guides 

Both parents usually pay a family mediator for their expert help in resolving conflict. The kinds of dispute a family mediator solves are child arrangements, finance disputes, divorce arrangements, and other issues following family separation.

Mediation is a practical, cost-effective, and less stressful alternative that allows couples to make decisions in a structured, supportive environment.

In family mediation, any child aged 10 may be consulted as part of the process. Children have a right to have their views taken into account by the parents when making decisions for them. This is called ‘Child-Inclusive Mediation’.

Separating from a partner is never easy, but financial support is now available to make the process smoother and less stressful.
