Whether you are receiving detailed legal advice or not, proper information is a vital part of dispute resolution. The information we give you about options available, and the information you give us about your family circumstances, are the materials from which we can build solutions together.

We believe strongly that mediators should be able to provide the same depth and detail of guidance and information as family lawyers and other professionals. The difference is that lawyers provide it as partisan advisors, whereas mediators seek to provide it impartially and transparently to all parties. But we always encourage clients to seek out legal advice as well.

This section of our site brings together fact sheets and links across the whole range of The Mediation Centre's services. We strive to make them user friendly and up to date; we are always keen to receive suggestions for improvement.
