What Mediation is not!

Mediation is not counselling or marriage guidance.
Mediation does not deal with the conflicts which led to the relationship breakdown or the emotional issues arising from it.
Mediation does not aim to bring the couple back together but this may occasionally happen when communication between ex-partners improves.
Mediators do not provide legal advice. However, mediators can provide a wide range of information to couples to assist their negotiations.
Mediators do not take side; they are impartial.
Mediators do not try to influence the outcome. Couples are helped to make their own decisions and agreements.
