About us

We are a family mediation service focused on helping people make practical decisions during separation, divorce and family change.

Family mediation for the Solent area

Solent Family Mediation works with families who need help discussing arrangements after a relationship has broken down. This can include child arrangements, communication between parents, finances, property and the practical next steps after separation.

Mediation gives both people a structured and neutral setting to talk. The mediator does not take sides, impose decisions or act for either person. The aim is to help you identify the issues, consider realistic options and work towards arrangements that can move matters forward.

We focus on family mediation across the Solent, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Gosport, Eastleigh, Waterlooville, Hayling Island, Lymington, the New Forest and the Isle of Wight.

What we help with

Practical mediation for family issues after separation.

Mediation can help you discuss more than one issue at the same time, especially where children, money and future arrangements overlap.

MIAM appointments

A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting can help you understand whether mediation is suitable and what your next steps may be.

Children arrangements

Mediation can help parents discuss where children live, how time is shared, school arrangements, holidays, handovers and communication.

Divorce and separation

We help separating couples work through practical decisions following relationship breakdown, including future planning and communication.

Financial matters

Mediation can support discussions about property, income, savings, pensions, debts and other financial arrangements linked to separation.

Parent communication

Where conflict has become repetitive, mediation can help parents move the conversation back towards practical arrangements for the children.

Solent coverage

Focused on the Solent, not generic national pages.

The Solent area mainly covers coastal Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, centred around Southampton and Portsmouth. This page focuses on the local Solent service area rather than unrelated national locations.

Why choose family mediation?

  • Stay involved in decisions about your children, finances and future arrangements.
  • Reduce unnecessary conflict by keeping discussions structured and focused.
  • Discuss several issues together, including children, property, money and communication.
  • Use a private setting before matters become more formal or court-based.

You and your family

Separation can affect children, finances, housing, routines and communication at the same time. Mediation helps slow the discussion down so each issue can be considered properly.

Whether you are married, divorcing, separating, cohabiting or trying to improve arrangements after separation, Solent Family Mediation can help you discuss practical options.
