Our family mediation services provide support for families in dispute, including couples facing separation or divorce through to difficulties arising from beneficiary disputes. Family mediation can help reduce hostility, protect the interests of dependents and prove to be a very cost-effective route to resolving dispute.

Family Mediation is not 'marriage guidance' nor is it a substitute for legal advice; it is a process whereby highly qualified impartial mediators manage the exchange of information supporting both parties to make informed consensual decisions.

Throughout family mediation, decision-making rests with the parties. Family Mediators assist in identifying issues, overcoming obstacles to communication, exploring alternatives and focusing on the needs and interests of those most affected by the separation. This often includes the thoughtful and sensitive consideration of children's concerns.

Family Mediators are recruited from specialised professional backgrounds. All are carefully selected and accredited to UK and European standards. ADRg work in conjunction with the Family Mediators’ Association, one of the UK’s leading independent family mediation charities.

We also operate a dedicated confidential Freephone Family Mediation Helpline (0808 200 0033) where callers can receive information about the mediation process and be put in touch with a qualified family mediator in their area.
