Mediation is the voluntary process through which separating couples seek to resolve any issues which may arise between them as a consequence of their separation. The process is intended to maintain communication between the couple, empowering them to construct their own solutions. Arbitration is a bespoke private ‘Court’ service enabling the couple to agree to instruct an Arbitrator to make a decision if they cannot reach an agreement themselves, within a much shorter period of time, and consequently at a much lower cost.
