What is Family Mediation and How Does It Work?

Family mediation is a confidential process where a trained, impartial mediator helps separating couples or family members resolve disputes without going to court. It is one of the most effective and affordable ways to reach agreements on children's arrangements, finances, and property.

Who is Mediation For?

Mediation is suitable for separating or divorcing couples who need to agree on arrangements for children, divide finances or property, or improve communication as co-parents. It can also help extended family members resolve disputes.

What Happens in a Mediation Session?

Sessions are conducted online via secure video call. The mediator helps both parties communicate openly, understand each other's perspectives, and work towards practical agreements. The mediator does not take sides or make decisions - they simply facilitate the conversation.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most couples reach agreement within 3 to 6 sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues involved. Each session typically lasts 90 minutes. Our mediators work at a pace that suits both parties.

Is Mediation Confidential?

Yes. Everything discussed in mediation is strictly confidential. Mediation is a private process and what is said cannot generally be used in court proceedings.
