Parenting Apart

Family Mediation West of Scotland provides support to families affected by separation, divorce and conflict.

Parenting Apart is a group session for parents who are divorced or separated.

Sessions are hosted by trained mediators who share information with parents on practical ideas such as:

• how to build a positive future for their children
• how to talk to children about separation or divorce
• increasing understanding of the effects of this life-changing event on both children and adults
• how to deal with a less than ideal situation by improving communication

We take care to ensure no ex partners will attend the same group.

Sessions are free to parents already using one of our other services. However if you are not using one of our services there is a £50 cost.

The Courts, knowing the value of this service, often refer parents to this service. If a referral is received via the Court or a solicitor and Legal Aid is in place, there is a cost of £60.
