Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@devoncornwallfamilymediation.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Mediation is a structured process where a neutral mediator helps separating couples resolve disputes, such as childcare arrangements and financial settlements. It promotes open communication and avoids court proceedings, saving time and money. Mediation ensures that both parties have a say in reaching fair and practical agreements.


Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where you have more control over the outcome. Unlike court, where decisions are imposed by a judge, mediation allows both parties to discuss issues and reach a mutually agreeable solution. It’s typically faster, less formal, and more cost-effective than going to court.


Family mediation can address a range of issues, including:

  • Parenting arrangements and child custody
  • Division of property and finances
  • Spousal support or maintenance
  • Communication and co-parenting agreements
  • Other family-related disputes


Costs vary depending on the length and number of sessions needed. Mediation is generally more affordable than court proceedings, and we are transparent about fees from the start. Additionally, some individuals may be eligible for financial assistance.


Child custody in Devon Cornwall Family Mediation is determined based on the best interests of the child, taking into account factors such as the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to care for the child, and the child's preference if they are old enough to express it.


Mediation outcomes are not automatically legally binding. However, agreements can be formalised into a legally binding consent order through the court. Mediators can guide you on the process to ensure childcare and financial arrangements are enforceable.


Yes, we are happy to offer online mediation sessions, especially for long-distance or convenience. Virtual sessions follow the same structure as in-person meetings and are equally effective.
