Family Mediation is a process in which an impartial third person, the mediator, facilitates those involved in family breakdown to make arrangements following a separation or a divorce or the breakdown of same sex relationships and relationships involving the wider family. The process is managed by the mediator but the issues are those of the clients. The couples or other family members involved in a family breakdown are helped to explore the issues and concerns, and they reach their own joint decisions. Issues generally centre on arrangements for divorce or separation, children, finance and property but they can involve communication and relationship problems
