Family Mediation - Family Mediation North East

We offer a safe, confidential and fair environment where separated couples can resolve disputes about issues such as contact with children, child maintenance and sharing of finances. We are qualified to work directly with children. We also assist in resolving disputes for families in Care Proceedings.

Legal Aid is still available for family mediation. If you are eligible, family mediation could be free for you.

We have offices in Durham, Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle, Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick, Hexham and North Shields.

Why choose mediation?

  • It is a cost-effective way to resolve disputes. It can be free and it’s a lot cheaper than court or solicitors.
  • It promotes positive communication between you and can help to reduce tension, anger and misunderstanding.
  • It focuses on fair solutions. You stay in control of the decision-making.
  • It is more likely to produce lasting agreements and create better outcomes for children than court-imposed decisions.
