Family Mediation Specialists

Separating from your partner can feel totally overwhelming and it can be hard to know where to start. Whilst many relationships and marriages breakdown every year, separation is one of life’s most stressful events for everyone involved.

At Vollans Mediation we understand that this can be an anxious time and are here to support you and your family as you navigate your way through it.

Whether you’re at the start of a process of separation, or have been separated for some time but there are still issues that need to be resolved, family mediation is a great place to start.

What are your next steps?

Our team are ready to help you work out your next steps.

We offer a one-to-one individual assessment meeting (a MIAM) where we can talk to you about all of your options, provide you with lots of information and decide together whether mediation is the best route for you.

We can give you info on legal processes (including at which point a solicitor may need to be involved) and emotional support to help your family through this difficult time.

You can also access our Resource Centre where you will find lots of useful information.

101 Questions Answered About Separating with Children

Parents disagreeing on what happens to the children when separating is normal. Since setting up its not-for-profit social enterprise ten years ago, OnlyMums & OnlyDads have had parents come to them with the question ‘What happens with the children? Do they live with one parent or both? How long do they spend with the other parent? How are handovers best arranged?’ Concerns about the welfare of the child when staying with the other parent are frequent.

This book is their response to these questions and Anna Vollans was happy to contribute to the making of the book

In our clients' words

What our Family Mediation clients say…

It was a daunting thought going into this process but the mediator immediately put us at ease and worked in a proactive way to resolve the issue

The tone throughout the session was kept calm and I had the opportunity to be able to talk without things getting heated.

Great to have a 3rd party helping to make arrangements when you just can’t get on with your ex. Reduces a lot of friction/arguments

Really helpful, felt comfortable and able to speak freely without judgement. Left with a lot of good information.

Very helpful to consider impact of actions upon children and felt affirmed in positive steps taken so far and more confident about next steps.

The mediator was very good in providing clear explanations, and listened well to me, and responded most helpfully. I have no hesitation in recommending Vollans Mediation to another person in a similar situation.
