Understanding the custody and safeguarding issues

Divorce can be an expensive and ugly process if partners do not commit to resolve the problem.

Moreover, it has adverse psychological effects on the child. Knowing how to communicate to the children about separation is a challenge, so fighting for their custody can destroy them. Most of these disputes end up in a long and exasperating court battle.

However, the courts may not solve the emotional disconnect that results from the process.

At Free Family Mediation, we help to create an environment that allows both of you to talk and agree.

Besides, you can put the money you might have spent on legal fees to good use by taking care of the children.
