If you have children we can help you discuss how to talk with them to ascertain their views and help them to understand what is happening. We will gladly see your children in mediation, if you wish, and will discuss this with you. Children may have very different concerns to their parents. It is important for them to be able to express these and think about the implications for the future. Parents are often better able to reassure and help their children once they know what their children are thinking.
While you are attending a mediation appointment, it will be necessary for you to make arrangements for someone else to look after your children (unless, after discussion with you, the mediator has arranged an appointment to meet with your children in mediation).
