The Government has today announced a further £5.4 million of funding to help separating parents to resolve arrangements for children away from the court. The funding will provide £500 to couples who wish to discuss child arrangements within a mediation setting.
For parents who are keen to avoid the acrimonious courtroom and the long delays that come with court proceedings this is a welcome announcement.
