Family Mediation

Family Mediation can go beyond the area of couples managing their separation.

Family Mediation aims to resolve disputes between family members who are in dispute. The issues in dispute may include; parenting or financial arrangements, agreeing terms for a legal separation, divorce, a cohabitants agreement or a dissolution of a Civil partnership; resolving probate disputes where a will has been contested or farm family succession disputes; assisting parties to agree arrangements for the care of elderly relatives "Elder Mediation"; or disputes that arise between adult family members. 

Family mediation may also overlap with Civil & Commercial Mediation in commercial disputes involving family members. A typical example would include disputes between owners of a family business. This differs from civil & commercial mediations between otherwise unconnected parties because family members will likely hope the relationships between the parties can be improved, and restored if possible.
