Family Mediation

Divorce, break up and separation decisions are some of the hardest we are ever likely to make; harder still where children are involved. Related court battles can be hostile, lengthy, costly, emotionally damaging to all of those involved (directly and indirectly) and yet may not even meet the desired outcomes of either party.

Mediate, mediate, mediate!

In recent years the number of family mediation cases has increased. Seen as a quicker, cheaper and more amicable method of resolving issues, family mediation is proving an extremely effective alternative to the formal court environment.

Courts and judges themselves recognise the many benefits of mediation, favouring its use or attempted use to amicably resolve differences wherever possible.

Why LINK?

The voluntary nature of the process, together with the calm and discursive environment our experienced mediators create, make mediation and LINK the ideal choice.

With innumerable years family mediation experience, we can help you to discuss and reach agreement on the areas which are critical to you and your family. 

Typically, there are a wide range of discussion topics during the session. These may include some of the following, but the final decision on the subject matter rests with the mediating parties:

• The division of assets & liabilities – home, cars, investments, debt
• Residential & custody arrangements – for children and pets
• Access rights - of parents and other family members
• Financial support – maintenance & child support contributions
