FAMILY & CHILD MEDIATION            

Mediation offers a mutual problem solving opportunity to separating couples. It is a process by which separating couples make their own agreement concerning the future of their children, finances and property. Some of the issues for mediation could include -

• Relationship decision making
• Separation/divorce agreements
• Review of divorce agreements
• Living arrangements
• Parental responsibilities
• Parenting time
• Spousal and child maintenance
• Financial arrangements

Benefits of mediation -

• Emphasises childrens need for love and support from both parents
• May assist to create a supportive and constructive environment
• Guarantees privacy and confidentiality
• May promote communication between parties
• May reduce emotional and physical distress

When is mediation appropriate?

There are no time limits on when mediation can be used. It can be helpful before or after separation and before or after the commencement of legal proceedings.
