Family Mediation from Md8<\/h1>\r\n

When you decide to separate, it can be the most painful and emotional decision of your life.\u00a0 When you have children together, that often brings more upset as not only are you, the adults, having to deal with emotional, psychological, and financial pain, you also have to manage and support your children through this process.<\/p>\r\n

Family mediation also includes working with couples without children who are separating or divorcing who need to reach a financial settlement.<\/p>\r\n

You have started on a journey either as the one who left the relationship\/marriage, or the one who has been left behind.\u00a0 Whilst practical decisions need to be made, when you are hurting emotionally and psychologically, your capacity to think, reason, and to make decisions is reduced.\u00a0 It can often feel overwhelming.<\/p>\r\n

Mediation Can Help<\/h2>\r\n

However, mediation can support you through this process, by informing you about the legal process, helping identify decisions which need to be made, focusing on what children need, how other parents have handled situations, considering options to reach a settlement, and how a court might approach your situation whether it be about the children or finances.<\/p>\r\n

Thinking About the Future<\/h3>\r\n

The timing of this is critical as you need to be ready to think about the future.\u00a0 Mediation can guide you through this journey, working at your pace, but moving forward in a structured way to help you to accept each stage as it arrives so you can make those decisions which will allow you to move on.<\/p>\r\n

Even if your separation \/ divorce was some time ago, there can be bumps in the road particularly with arrangements for children.\u00a0 Mediation for children can be used at any time when you need some help with arrangements or to agree on a financial settlement.<\/p>\r\n
