National Family Mediation (NFM) is a network of local not-for-profit family mediation services in England and Wales which offers help to couples, married or unmarried, who are in the process of separation or divorce. They are committed to providing high quality mediation to everyone who needs it in all communities.

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary, "without prejudice" process in which a neutral third party, the mediator, helps you to discuss and negotiate all issues surrounding your divorce or separation. Research shows that mediation improves communication and helps you build for the future in your new circumstances. In particular it can help your children maintain their family relationships.

Family Mediation is for:

• Parents - before or after separation
• Divorcing couples
• Teenage parents
• Grandparents
• Adult siblings
• Parents & adult children
• Other members of the extended family where communication and/or relationships are problematic.

NFM mediators help clients to reach joint decisions about the issues associated with their separation - children, finance and property. Several NFM services also provide specialist services for children. NFM has well established quality assurance standards.
