Mediation

Mediation helps couples who are separating or divorcing make their own arrangements and plans for the future. Experience shows that people are more satisfied with and more likely to adhere to arrangements they have made between themselves. Mediators are trained to help parties identify the issues between them reach a constructive agreement which will work for everyone concerned. In Scotland there is Family Mediation Scotland (according to the Journal now Relationships Scotland) which has a particular emphasis on arrangements for children and CALM, the family lawyer mediators.
