Family Mediation
The reasons why a relationship breaks down are as complex as the factors which encourage couples to marry or live together in the first place. Where separation takes place more in sorrow than in anger, people are often able to focus on the practical issues and reach an agreement about the arrangements for their children and how to conduct their financial affairs without any outside assistance.
When one or both partners are not entirely emotionally detached, discussions between a separating couple in the presence of a third party, can be a more helpful means of dealing with the practicalities of separation; than letters between solicitors or Court proceedings.

Family Mediation and Children
If you have children then you will continue to have ongoing discussions relating to the children's upbringing and the amount of time that they spend with each of you. If you have made joint decisions about arrangements for your separate lives and the lives of your children, at the end of your relationship; you are more likely to cope with the unexpected in the future.
Even if you do not have children, or if your children are grown up, practical and financial arrangements which have been discussed between you and accepted, possibly with reservations, on both sides, are likely to be more acceptable than a settlement imposed upon you.
