About us

Resolution Mediation is an accredited family law mediation practice dedicated to supporting families through uncontested divorce and separation. We offer a child-focused, respectful, and cost-effective approach that reduces conflict and promotes healthy communication. Our goal is to help families navigate a difficult and uncertain time with dignity, clarity, and a focus on building a better future for everyone involved.

Services

Uncontested Divorce Agreements

An uncontested divorce through mediation is possible when both parties are willing to work together respectfully to reach agreement without going to court. Mediation is suitable if:

Both spouses agree to divorce.
There is a willingness to communicate and negotiate in good faith.
Arrangements can be reached regarding fair agreement can be reached on the division of assets and liabilities,children, including care, contact, and maintenance (where applicable).

Parental Plans

A parental plan provides a structured and child-focused framework for co-parenting after separation or divorce. It sets out practical arrangements regarding care, contact, communication, and decision-making, helping parents create stability and consistency for their children.

Conflict Resolution

Working with a registered conflict coach provides families and individuals with practical tools to manage difficult conversations, reduce emotional reactivity, and build healthier communication patterns. Rather than escalating disputes, conflict coaching focuses on understanding, self-awareness, and constructive problem-solving.

Voice of the Child

The Voice of the Child ensures that children are meaningfully included in the mediation process in a safe, ethical, and age-appropriate way. It allows children to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without being placed in the middle of adult conflict.

A BETTER WAY FORWARD

Mediation vs Litigation

Mediation offers a respectful and collaborative alternative to court. Instead of handing decisions over to a judge, mediation allows families to remain in control of their own outcomes. It focuses on solutions rather than conflict, helping parents communicate constructively and reach practical agreements without the emotional and financial strain of litigation.

Child-Focused Mediation & Voice of the Child

High-conflict legal processes can place significant emotional stress on children. Child-focused mediation creates a calmer, safer space for families, promoting cooperation and emotional stability.

At Resolution Mediation, we also offer a Voice of the Child service, giving children a safe and neutral opportunity to express their needs and experiences, ensuring their wellbeing remains central to all decisions.

Time, Cost & Emotional Wellbeing

Mediation is faster, more cost-effective, and far less stressful than court proceedings. It saves families time, legal expenses, and emotional exhaustion, allowing them to move forward with clarity and dignity.

Reframing Conflict. Restoring Futures.

We believe conflict can become an opportunity for growth, understanding, and healthier family relationships.
