When our home life becomes conflicted the consequences can affect every aspect of our lives. It’s at this me we particularly need support and care we can trust and rely on.
What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation services can be utilized at either the beginning or the ending of a relationship. At the beginning, a “pre-nup” (the commonly used term for either a cohabitation agreement, or a marriage contract) is strongly advisable for couples embarking on a life together. When a relationship comes to an end, a separation agreement should be negotiated and finalized.

What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation services can be utilized at either the beginning or the ending of a relationship. At the beginning, a “pre-nup” (the commonly used term for either a cohabitation agreement, or a marriage contract) is strongly advisable for couples embarking on a life together. While not essential that this agreement be finalized at the very beginning of a relationship, the earlier the better. Some couples may decide to take this step after being together for a period of time, and even after marriage, so it is never too late to consider. When a relationship comes to an end, a separation agreement should be negotiated and finalized.

How to Prepare for Mediation?
As a couple, the most important step in preparing for mediation is to both freely and voluntarily agree to use this process. Come to the table with an open mind, in good faith, prepared to compromise, considering your partner’s interests, as well as your own. Remember, you will control the result, together, rather than an outside party – that is, a judge, or adjudicator – deciding for you. The strength and holding power of your agreement will be directly related to the respect shown by each participant towards the other, and in abiding by your mediator’s direction throughout the process. In the end, you will be pleased with the result, and your mutual contribution to achieving it.
