  • Introduction

  • Family mediation is a process in which an independent, professionally trained mediator helps you work out arrangements for your children and/or finances following separation. ​ Mediation can also be helpful when arrangements you've made before need to change, particularly as your children grow up. Mediation helps you stay in control. The mediator will help you to find a solution that works for you both and will explain what needs to happen to make an agreement between you legally binding. The process is less stressful and significantly quicker than going to court and can save you money. Legal aid is also available if you are financially eligible. 

    You can use this form to provide us with your contact details to begin the mediation process. Or you can contact us to request an alternative format.

    Once we have received a completed form, we can arrange a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) and we will contact you to arrange this.

Where your MIAM is arranged for you on your own, we will contact the other party after your appointment. The other party can also contact us in the meantime. Please answer the questions below to confirm your preference.
