Family Mediation empowers couples to be proactive. Through the support and assistance of a mediation team they are able to retain control in the resolution of their own affairs. The mediator can guide them through the maze of legal and practical obstacles that can cause confusion and enable them to make their own decisions rather than having one imposed upon them by the courts.
