Divorcing spouses or separating couples can reach an agreement and resolution of the family finances and maintenance through their solicitors or, before matters have become too advanced, both spouses can consult a single mediator who will encourage the parties to reach their own agreement. All mediators have to be trained. Some mediators are also solicitors specialising in divorce and we would recommend that you consult a solicitor/mediator if you can.
