If you find yourself in the unfortunate event of a breakdown in your relationship, sometimes mediation, collaboration or arbitration can be a more appropriate course to take.
Our family lawyers are experienced in advising families on these alternative methods of dispute resolution, particularly where children are involved. We can offer you the full range of mediation services, helping to minimise costs and ease the transition of a breakdown in your relationship.
