Mediation is a procedure designed to help reduce conflict particularly between separating couples, whether married or unmarried. Mediation has been available for a number of years but is only just starting to achieve the high profile it deserves. Essentially, those couples faced with differences are helped to resolve them with the help of a fully-trained mediator.
It is an entirely voluntary process and may not suit everybody but there are many advantages including the reduction of stress and upset, saving expense. Perhaps most importantly, the couples themselves arrive at a mutually acceptable arrangement which, accordingly, suits them and is not imposed by a third party, such as the Court.

Christopher Lousley and Jenny Sanders are qualified Mediators and will be happy to provide further information and discuss whether mediation would be an option for you and your partner.
