Welcome to Kent Family Mediation Service

 

Kent Family Mediation Service is the largest family mediation service in Kent, offering an affordable solution to help families in conflict reach agreements about children, property, and financial settlements.

 

Family Mediation is generally a speedier, more cost-effective alternative than using the courts to resolve disputes. It helps two or more clients come together, with an impartial mediator, to reach an out-of-court resolution.  

 

All of our mediators are all fully qualified, and have had many years of experience. Most importantly, we prioritise providing you with a professional and high quality service when helping you reach agreements. 

 

Our meetings are generally held virtually online, via Zoom video calls.
