WHAT IS FAMILY MEDIATION?
Family mediation is a dispute resolution process designed to help separating or divorcing couples resolve disputes constructively and amicably. According to the Family Mediation Council, mediation provides an independent, professionally trained mediator to guide you in creating agreements about:
-
Child Arrangements: Including where children will live and how much time they’ll spend with each parent.
-
Finances: Such as dividing assets, property, and debts.
-
Future Changes: Addressing adjustments needed as children grow or circumstances evolve.
​​
Why Mediation?
-
Mediation puts you in control, allowing you to craft solutions that work for your family rather than leaving decisions to the courts.
-
It’s significantly faster, less stressful, and more affordable than court proceedings.
-
Agreements made during mediation can be formalized and made legally binding.​​
At Pax Mediation, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Northumberland, or anywhere across the UK, our dedicated mediators can help.

I appreciate your advice and would like to say you offer a fantastic service. I’d have no doubt recommending you to anyone going through such circumstances."
"Mediation enabled face to face contact in a safe and structured setting, where points of issue were sought and discussed. Both parties had a chance to say what they felt needed to be said."

"At the most difficult of times the mediation felt so important and allowed us to begin moving on."
"Pax Mediation is a brilliant service that works better and so much faster than the courts with positive results."
"Laura supported the conversation allowing me to heard. The process created a communication channel which allowed for regular access with our daughter and gave me the ability to voice my concerns and ask questions."
"The service made the process of separation easier. Helped clarify ways forward in terms of financial arrangements and the kids. Gave me some structure and focus, particularly when we agreed to timescales."
