Divorce is a difficult process for everyone involved, but especially for children. While parents may be focused on your own interests, children deserve to have their financial needs taken care of after a divorce.

What is Children's Finances Mediation?
Children’s Finances Mediation is a type of mediation that focuses exclusively on the financial aspects of separation and divorce, particularly where children are involved. The service aims to provide a fair and neutral platform for parents to negotiate and agree on financial matters related to their children’s upbringing.

- Joint Sessions: Mediation sessions bring both parents together, with the mediator acting as a neutral facilitator. These sessions provide a platform for open dialogue, allowing parents to express their concerns, priorities, and desired outcomes. The mediator guides the conversation, ensuring that all relevant aspects are discussed and explored.
- Negotiation and Agreement: Through a series of joint sessions, parents work collaboratively to find common ground and build an agreement that considers the best interests of the children.
