What is Mediation?

  • A process in which a mediator helps a couple to reach joint decisions about one or more matters relating to their children, finances and property.
  • The focus of mediation is the future, i.e the concrete issues which need to be resolved by the couple to be able to move forward
  • Mediation also aims to improve communication between the couple so that they are able to build a more amicable relationship after separation so that they are able to resolve problems which may arise in the future
  • Mediation aims to enable couples who have children to co-operate as parents.
