Family Mediation
We offer a mediation service in Norfolk and in Suffolk to couples coping with the breakdown of their relationship and wishing to work together in a series of meetings with a family mediator to sort out their future arrangements.
Mediation is ideal for people who though they can't live together still need to be able to communicate in a way which is neutral and calm for their own sakes and for the sake of their children.
You don't necessarily have to meet. The mediation can be together or in separate rooms, whichever is most appropriate.
For those willing to commit to working to achieve solutions, mediation can be fast and cost-effective achieving a huge saving in legal costs.
Problems for discussion might include arrangements to do with the children, housing, money, pensions and so on.
Mediation can also be used to resolve other things such as difficulties between relatives perhaps over children or an inheritance.
We offer an introductory session which can be joint or separate, whichever you would prefer. Then if each of you and the mediator decide that mediation might be helpful we plan from there.
If you start using mediation and then change your mind you can stop whenever you choose.
Legal aid is available if you are eligible.
