Overview

Expert mediation to help you through divorce

A supportive alternative to court

Mediation helps separating couples resolve issues without court proceedings. It can cover children, finances and property, and is often quicker and less adversarial than other approaches. 

Our mediators are also experienced family lawyers. They guide discussions sensitively, helping both parties feel heard while working towards practical, balanced outcomes. 

Flexible and focused on what matters most

Mediation allows you to set the pace, priorities and agenda. This flexibility can make it easier to focus on the issues that matter most to you and your family.

Wider family support

Mediation can also help resolve disputes beyond divorce, including issues between unmarried couples or within wider family relationships, helping avoid unnecessary escalation.

Mediation offers several key benefits

Promotes amicable solutions – by encouraging open communication, mediation can help foster understanding and potentially lead to a more amicable resolution.

You make the decisions – unlike court, where a judge imposes decisions, mediation allows you to determine the outcome with the help of a mediator.

More control and flexibility – you have control over what’s discussed and when, with deadlines and timelines tailored to your needs.

Faster and more affordable – mediation typically resolves issues in weeks rather than months, and can often be less expensive than court proceedings.
