Family Mediation Week aims to raise awareness of family mediation and the benefits it can bring to separating families. Mediation is just one of the alternative options to attending Court and we encourage separating couples to think about family mediation as a way of helping them take control, make decisions together and build a positive future for their family in parallel to receiving legal advice from their family solicitor.

Family solicitors and mediators regularly collaborate to allow couples to confidently achieve consensus about important legal issues at their pace and without the constraints and costs associated with involving the Court.

The Family Mediation Council have organised a number of FREE webinars which will help you find out more about mediation. Check out their full timetable of events here

We have also highlighted below the ones that will be most useful to you if you are considering mediation with your ex-partner.
