Mediation Services for Separated Parents
During mediation an independent, professionally trained mediator helps a couple work out an agreement about issues such as:
- arrangements for children after a break up (sometimes called residence or contact);
- child maintenance payments;
- finances (for example, what to do with your house, savings, pension, debts).
Many people find that mediation is quicker, less stressful and less expensive than going to court (and if the couple do want to go to court, the judge will usually ask them to consider mediation first).
Mediation is free for people who qualify for legal aid. More information here
