Are you unsure how to make plans for the future and what that will look like ?

Do you need and your ex-partner need help to communicate with each other to make decisions?

When a relationship ends, it can be a difficult time for you and your children. The way you handle your separation will affect your children, and it can seem impossible to communicate with your ex-partner and to create an agreement that feels right for all involved.

For some parents, an existing arrangement for the children has broken down and there are difficulties in agreeing how best to move forward.

EA Family Service mediators can support you in reaching agreement on a range of issues, such as where the children will live, how they can spend time with both of you, how you share important information about their welfare or how to share costs.

Our mediators understand how important these matters are to families and we will work with you to explore the various options relevant to your situation. We are experienced and skilled at working with parents who are in dispute and we will always focus on the child’s wellbeing and needs. We are not here to take sides, we remain neutral, helping parents to communicate effectively to reach workable solutions.

If children are considered old enough, we are able to offer a specialised mediator to include the child’s voice as part of the parents’ mediation. Please click here for further information on Child Inclusive Mediation.
