Who is it for?
Family Mediation is not just for couples or parents. It can be for any [adult]family members who need to make shared decisions about anything affecting their family.
So as well as decisions about:
-
Divorce and separation;
-
Financial arrangements between separating partners; and
-
Parents making arrangements for children;
​
Mediation may also be helpful for
-
Brothers and sisters making plans for dependent parents;
-
Parents and adult children who need to solve practical issues;
-
Family members dealing with issues over inheritances; and
-
Any other issues for which family members need to find shared solutions
​
Who can take part in family mediation?
There is no restriction on who can mediate. You can be of:
-
Any race
-
Any religion (or none)
-
Any gender (including gender fluid and trans gender)
-
Any sexual orientation (or asexual)
-
Any cultural tradition
The only exclusion is if the Mediator, having carefully assessed your (and the other potential participant’s) circumstances, concludes that family mediation would not be suitable or safe.
