Exploring mediation as an alternative to traditional divorce and separation routes can offer a more constructive, cost-effective and less adversarial way to resolve issues. Louisa Bestford’s handy guide takes you through how mediation encourages open communication and cooperation, helping couples reach practical agreements around finances and children in a confidential and supportive environment.
The benefits of mediation
With the guidance of an independent mediator and legal support where needed, you and your family retain greater control over decisions, conflict is reduced through open, respectful communication and you can achieve quicker, more sustainable outcomes that prioritise the wellbeing of the whole family, avoiding the stress and uncertainty of court proceedings.

Mediation is suitable for:
Whether you’re discussing where the children will live, how finances should be divided, or how to communicate moving forward, mediation provides a structured, positive space to find solutions.
