National Family Mediation

We help families in conflict, especially those divorcing or separating.

We know communicating after separation is tough. So our mediators are skilled at helping people work through the issues they have to consider. These include emotional, practical, legal, financial and technical problems that can arise after divorce or separation.

If you are facing divorce or separation and don't know which way to turn, family mediation can help. We can help you to sort out arrangements for children, property, finance and other important matters.

  • Family mediation is much quicker, less stressful and usually cheaper than heading straight to court.
  • It enables you to shape long-term solutions that are in your family’s best interests.
  • The process allows families to keep control of their own destinies, instead of handing it over to courts.
