The family mediation service is a free, professional confidential service which enables couples, who have decided to separate, reach agreement on all issues related to their separation. It assists couples in addressing the issues on which they need to make decisions including: post-separation living arrangements; finances and parenting arrangements so that ongoing close relationships with both parents are made possible for the children.
