What is Mediation?

Mediation is the process by which couples seek to reach an agreement about such matters as their children, finances and property. Couples discuss these issues in the presence of a trained, independent third party - the Mediator.

Mediators do not make decisions.
Their role is to help couples:

• co-operate;
• resolve conflict;
• reach joint solutions;
• focus on the needs and feelings of the children.

Mediation is not reconciliation or counselling.
