FAQ: How can mediation help during divorce?

Mediation helps to ease discussion of difficult – or potentially inflammatory – topics. It allows both you and your partner to forward opinions, feelings and insight regarding the separation, making both of you aware of the range of issues that can occur after the separation is finalised. Mediation also lets you come to your own mutually beneficial terms, and can help to avoid drawn-out legal battles.
