Family Mediation Services

Compassionate, Constructive, and Cost-Effective Resolution

At TWM, we understand that family disputes can be emotionally and financially draining. Our Family Law Mediation service offers a supportive, structured environment where separating couples can resolve issues amicably, without the stress and expense of going to court.

What is family mediation?

Family mediation is a voluntary process where an impartial, professionally trained mediator helps you and your former partner communicate and negotiate agreements on issues such as:

  • Child arrangements (residence, contact, holidays, schooling)
  • Financial settlements and property division
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Parenting plans
  • Any other family-related matters

A mediator will provide a calm, neutral space for discussion. Whilst remaining impartial, the mediator can provide information on legal frameworks and the process. Mediation can take place in person or online.

Why choose mediation?

Family mediation offers several key advantages over traditional court proceedings:

  • Reduced stress and conflict – a calmer environment focused on solutions, not confrontation.
  • Control over outcomes – you and your partner make the decisions, not a judge.
  • Cost-effective – generally quicker and less expensive than going to court.
  • Child-focused – promotes positive co-parenting and minimises disruption for children.
  • Confidential – discussions are private and cannot be disclosed in court (with limited exceptions).

Mediation is suitable for most separating couples, whether married, in a civil partnership, or cohabiting. It can also be used post-divorce to revisit arrangements.
