Mediation Services

Mediation can help with separation, divorce, contact with children, grandparents’ contact, step-family relationships and other family disputes.

Mediation can help you if you:

Have children from this or a previous relationship – or do not have children
Still live together but are planning to part
Separated recently or some time ago
Are already divorced or are about to divorce
Have never lived with the other party but have a shared interest in in family or financial matters
Are or have been in a same sex relationship
Are or have been in a heterosexual relationship
Are not married to each other or have not registered a civil partnership
Are a grandparent or other family member wanting to make arrangements to see children.

Family Mediation provides an opportunity to meet with a professionally – trained mediator in a safe, neutral and confidential setting. It is a way of resolving difficulties through meeting together and talking through the issues. Your mediator will guide you through negotiations so that you can reach your own agreements on disputes relating to your family matters.

EFN Family Mediation offers family mediation in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire at venues that are local to you.
