Following a marital or relationship breakdown, there are often difficult decisions to be made about children, money and property. To help them reach those decisions, some couples find it helpful to attend mediation. This involves the couple meeting in a neutral venue, where an independent mediator will assist them in identifying issues to be discussed, exploring possible options and moving towards a mutually acceptable solution. The mediator can prepare a summary of any points agreed between the parties - these can then be incorporated in a formal separation agreement by their solicitors.

Caroline Smith is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a Family Mediator.
