What is Family Law Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process where families can work together, with the assistance of a neutral third party, to resolve disputes in a confidential and respectful environment. It focuses on collaboration rather than conflict, allowing both parties to find common ground and create agreements that suit their unique circumstances.
Lawren acts as a facilitator, helping clients communicate effectively, identify their priorities, and explore solutions that align with the best interests of all involved, especially children. By choosing mediation, families can often save time, reduce costs, and avoid the emotional strain of adversarial court proceedings.

The Benefits of Mediation

- Timely Resolutions: With court delays often stretching for months or even years, mediation provides a faster path to resolving disputes.
- Control Over Outcomes: Mediation empowers families to make decisions rather than allowing a judge to decide their outcomes.
- Privacy and Confidentiality: Unlike court proceedings, mediation remains private, protecting sensitive family matters.
- Child-Focused Solutions: Mediation prioritises the well-being of children, ensuring their needs and best interests are central to any agreement.
