Family mediation has been a mandatory consideration for all who are considering applying to family court. It is a mandatory consideration when applying for financial orders too unless a valid exemption applies. 

We are not registered family mediators but we can help you identify if mediation is needed, if any exemption applies, and signpost you towards a network of qualified mediators. 

There are several applications that form part of “section 8”, that is section 8 of the children’s act 1989. 

These can include applying to court for an order to see your child, enforcing a previous order that is not being followed, asking the court to prevent a person carrying out a specific act such as removing a child from the country without consent or asking a court to prevent a move far way, and asking the court to resolve a specific issue such as choosing a child’s school. 

Applications to family court should always be your last resort. But if you need to make one we can support you from the very beginning until the end.
