Family Mediation is a quicker, more affordable, and hassle-free alternative to dispute resolution through litigation in the courtroom. In family mediation proceedings, family issues are presented and addressed by a neutral family mediator who helps the couple find suitable solutions to their problems rather than continuing conflicts. The mediator can also call for other professionals such as relationship counsellors for emotional support, mental health and parenting. The primary objective of family mediation is to resolve the spouses' disputes in a personalized, cooperative, agreeable and respectful manner.

Family mediation is for couples who agree to settle their disputes in a mutually respectful manner. It is a voluntary process in which the concerned parties strive to find a solution rather than confront one another. The goal of family mediation is to make divorce as painless as possible for both parties involved. The process entails that both the spouses sit down in a neutral environment to work on their family issues productively.
