Our specialist team in Mitcham can help parents make child arrangements that put the child first and support ongoing relationships with both parents. We will always try to encourage an amicable solution using mediation or collaborative processes to reduce conflict, delay and costs. If an agreement cannot be reached, our experienced child arrangements solicitors are ready and fully equipped to represent you in court, with the child’s best interests as the priority. Every situation is different and we work closely with children and families to help ensure they are supported and cared for.

Mediation Solicitors Mitcham

You might want to come to an agreement for the child arrangements or any financial settlement with your spouse but they are being purposely difficult to speak to. We are here to help with our mediation services.

This procedure provides a framework for the discussions with your spouse to move forward. They are usually done in 3 to 5 sessions as we aim to provide a good environment to achieve your goals and needs.

Our mediation solicitors remain neutral during the process and cannot provide legal advice to you or your spouse. We can only advise that you seek help from your individual lawyers to create a legal and effective agreement at the end of the mediation process.
