Mediators

SALM is contracted to the
Community Legal Service

When Relationships break down family mediation offers an alternative to the often stressful and costly route of litigation.
Mediators bring you and your partner together to discuss the issues in a calm, non-threathening and neutral atmosphere.
Mediators are trained to listen, to make helpful suggestions about alternate courses of action and to make the decision-making process both before and after separation easier for both of you. But mediators do not decide the issues for you.
Mediation is entirely voluntary. It puts the process in your hands; you make the decisions with which you feel comfortable in an atmosphere of impartiality; mediators do not take sides.
Mediation puts solutions in your hands.
