Why Principal Mediation?​​​​​
​We know you never imagined you’d be in this situation. No one does. But when the unexpected becomes reality, we’re here to help you avoid the fees, time and lack of sleep that comes with it.​​​​​​​
Principal Mediation specialises in the art of respectful, efficient and outcomes-driven negotiation. We work with you to reach workable, courtroom-free resolutions regarding divorce, separation, parenting plans and financial agreements.
Encouraging communication, reducing conflict and achieving long-term positive outcomes for separating couples is our key objective.
Through mediation, we help you negotiate your agreement, either as a parenting plan or a legally binding consent order or a binding financial agreement.​​
Our mediators are skilled in resolving conflicts in the field of family mediation. With lived experience of the many intricate elements that combine to make good mediation great, our team works with empathy, objectivity and harm-reduction principles at its core.​​
On occasion, we will co-mediate, where the sessions will be held with two mediators. Mediators all have different skill sets, and depending on the complexity of the issues needing to be explored, it may be beneficial to have two mediators during the process. ​​
Mediations are carried out under a strict Code of Practice, and nothing said during the process can be used as evidence at a subsequent court hearing. Our mediators will remain unbiased before, during, and after the mediation process, and we are not allowed to influence its outcome.
