A calmer route through separation
Mediation gives families a structured way to discuss difficult issues before matters become more stressful, expensive or entrenched.
Mediation before escalation
Do family disputes have to be settled in court?
Not always. Where mediation is suitable, it can help separating couples and parents discuss arrangements in a private, structured and impartial setting.
The mediator does not take sides or make decisions for either person. The role is to help both people identify the issues, explore practical options and focus on workable next steps.
How mediation can help
Support for the main issues families face after separation.
Family mediation can help with more than one issue at the same time, especially where children, money, housing and communication overlap.
Children arrangements
Discuss where children live, time with each parent, handovers, holidays and communication.
Finances and property
Explore property, income, savings, pensions, debts and practical financial proposals.
Divorce and separation
Use mediation to work through practical next steps after relationship breakdown.
MIAM and next steps
Do you need a MIAM in Shoreham?
A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting helps you understand whether mediation is suitable. It is also required before many family court applications unless an exemption applies.
If mediation cannot proceed or is not suitable, the mediator can explain what court form may be needed and what the next step could be.
Why families use mediation
- It gives both people a voice in the discussion.
- It can reduce unnecessary conflict.

- It can help avoid delay, cost and stress where court is not needed.
